'• He that hath much to do, will do something wrong, and of that wrong must suffer the conse- 
quences ; and if it were possible that he should always act rightly, yet when such numbers are 
to judge of his conduct, the bad will censure and obstruct him by malevolence, and^the good 
sometimes by mistake." — Samuel Johnson.

INTRODUCTION. 



In presenting to the public the "Gazetteer and Business Directory of 
Franklin and Grand Isle Counties," we desire to return our sincere thanks 
to all who have kindly aided in obtaining the information it contains, and 
rendered it possible to present it in the brief space of time in which it is 
essential such works should be completed. Especially are our thanks due to 
the editors and managers of the county papers, for the uniform kindness they 
have evinced in calling public attention to our efforts, and for essential aid 
in furnishing material for the work. We have also found valuable aid in the 
writings of the various authors in Miss Hemenway's " Historical Magazine ;" 
"Thompson's Vermont;" "Deming's Vermont Officers;" Hoskin's "History 
of Vermont;" Hall's "Early History of Vermont;" the "Documentary 
History of New York ;" Lanman's " Dictionary of Congress ;" Palmer's 
" History of Lake Champlain ;" "Pioneer History of the Champlain Valley;" 
" Letters of John A. Graham ;" in the reports of the Adjutant-General and 
State School Superintendent; F. W. Beers & Co.'s "Atlas of Franklin and 
Grand Isle counties ;" and also the geological reports of Hitchcock and 
Hagar. Our thanks are also due to the clergy throughout the counties, and 
to Hon. Bradley Barlow, Dr. S. S. Clark, J. W. Hobart, W. O. Gadcomb, 
and Dr. O. F. Fassett, of St. Albans ; Rev. Father Yoinec, and Mrs. A. H. 
Burleson, of Fairfield ; C. H. Beeman, of Fairfax ; Mrs. Bradley Brigham, 
of Bakersfield ; M. W. Rounds, of Richford ; J. H. Adams, of Grand Isle, 
and to many others throughout the counties whohave rendered valuable aid. 
That errors have occurred in so great a number of names is probable, and 
that names have been omitted which should have been inserted is quite 
certain. We can only say that we have exercised more than ordinary dili- 
gence and care in this difficult and complicated feature of book-making. Of 
such as feel aggrieved in consequence of errors or omissions, we beg pardon, 
and ask the indulgence of the reader in noting such as have been observed 
in the subsequent reading of the proofs, and which are found in the Errata, 
following this Introduction. 



INTRODUCTION. 



It was designed to give a brief account of all the church and other societies 
in the counties, but owing, in some cases, to the negligence of those who 
were able to give the necessary information, and in others, to the inability of 
any one to do so, we have been obliged to omit special notices of a few. 

We would suggest that our patrons observe and become familiar with the 
explanations at the commencement of the Directory. The names it em- 
braces, and the information connected therewith, were obtained by actual 
canvass, and are as correct and reliable as the judgment of those from whom 
they were solicited render practicable. Each agent is furnished with a map 
of the town he is expected to canvass, and he is required to pass over every 
road, and call at every farm-house and place of business in the town, in order 
to obtain the facts from the individuals concerned wherever possible. 

The margins have been left broad to enable any one to note changes op- 
posite the names. 

The Advertisers represent many of the leading firms and business men of 
these and other counties, and we most cheerfully commend them to the pat- 
ronage of those under whose observation these pages may come. 

We take this occasion to express the hope that the information found in 
this book, will not prove devoid of interest and value, though we are fully 
conscious that the brief history of the counties the scope of the work enables 
us to give, is by no means an exhaustive one, and can only hope that it may 
prove a nucleus and incentive to future historians, who will be the better able 
to do full justice to the subject. 

While thanking our patrons and friends generally, for the cordiality with 
which our efforts have been seconded, we leave the work to secure that favor 
which earnest endeavor ever wins from a discriminating public, hoping they 
will bear in mind, should errors be noted, that " he who expects a perfect 
work to see, expects what ne'er was, is, nor yet shall be."

KLIN COUNTY, VT. 



ipjpO State in the Union, probably, equals Vermont in scenic beauty, and 
«-•*-» none can approach it in point of historical interest. Nearly every 

# mountain, river, and lake, throughout its entire length and breadth, has 
clustered about its name a wealth of historical lore, over which the muse of 
history loves to linger— traditions that have inspired the pen of the poet 
novelist, and historian, to works of rare grace and beauty. Vermont's sons 
too, from the first who broke the solitude of her forests, and through a double 
revolution brought into existence the sovereign and independent State, have 
carved for themselves a name in the annals of fame that shall be as lasting as 
the hills for whose possession they fought. It is our purpose in this volume, 
not to give a full and detailed history of the whole, nor even a part of this 
beautiful country, but to place on record, in a continuous form, the principal 
events connected with the history of two of its fourteen counties — Franklin 
and Grand Isle; to trace in outline the lives of a few of those hardy ones 
who braved the vicissitudes of pioneer life that their posterity, the present 
and future generations, might enjoy the fruits of their toil ; to trace the 
erection of each one of the townships therein, to enquire into the proceedings 
of their first inhabitants, to hand down to future generations the names and 
occupations of all their present residents, and to attempt to portray the 
beauties which nature has lavished so bountifully upon them. To accomplish 
this task it becomes necessary to first glance at the history of the State in 
general, to enquire into the causes that brought it into existence, and to 
briefly notice its progress from the first settlement of its territory by civilized 
people to the time of its admission as a member of the Federal Union. 

Our country, unlike most nations, has a complete history. The organiza- 
tion of the government and the commencement of her progress bear date 
from a definite period, and are not shrouded in mythological darkness or the 
mists of tradition. It is now a little less than four centuries since the world

was startled by the discoveries of Columbus, and during that time the vast 
wilderness has been transformed into one of the proudest nations on the 
globe. Subsequent to the discoveries of Columbus came those of the 
English, in 1497, followed, during the same same year, by the Portuguese, 
then by the Spanish, in 1506, and finally by the French, in 1524. The 
English, on the ground of the discoveries of the Cabots, claimed the territory 
from Labrador to Florida, to which they gave the name Virginia. But their 
explorations were confined principally to the coast between Maine and Albe- 
marle Sound. The French confined their explorations principally to the 
country north of this, bordering on the St. Lawrence river and its tributaries, 
to which they gave the name of New France, while the Dutch, by virtue of 
the discoveries by Hudson, afterwards laid claim to the country between 
Cape Cod and the Delaware river, which they called New Netherlands. 

France and England, long enemies in the Old World, transplanted their 
rivalries and jealousies to the New Continent, and years of warfare between 
these great powers followed. Attempts at colonization were made by Eng- 
land during the reign of Elizabeth, but they proved abortive, and it was not 
until the Tudor dynasty had passed away, and several years of the reign of 
James I., the first of the Stuarts, had elapsed, before the Anglo-Saxon gained 
any permanent foothold. Stimulated by the spirit of rivalry with the 
French, England pushed her explorations and discoveries, while France, 
from her first colony on the St. Lawrence, had explored the vast region from 
the great lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, and established among the savages 
missions and trading posts, first in the forests of Canada, then in the West, 
and finally in New York, and the territory included within the present limits 
of Vermont. The first of the hostilities, which are now known as the French 
wars, began with William's accession to the throne of England, in 1609. 
This was terminated in the peace of Ryswic, in 1697. Queen Anne's war, 
so called, came next, commencing in 1702, and terminating in the peace of 
Utrecht, in 17 13. The third controversy was declared by George II., in 
1744, and continued until the preliminaries of peace were signed, at Aix-la- 
Chapelle, in 1748. The last conflict was formally declared by Great Britain, 
in 1756, and terminated by the capture of Montreal, in September, 1760, 
when the whole of New France was surrendered to Great Britain. 

During the progress of these wars, the territory of the present State of 
Vermont was often crossed by both armies, and a few settlements sprang up, 
the first, in 1665, being on Isle La Motte, where a fort was erected by Captain 
De La Motte, under command of M. De Tracy, governor of New France. 
In 1690, Captain De Narm, with a party from Albany, N. Y., established an 
outpost in the present town of Addison, at Chimney Point, where he 
erected a small stone fort. The first permanent settlement, however, was 
made at Brattleboro, in 1724, when Fort Dummer was built. For six or 
seven years the garrison of this fort were the only white inhabitants. In 
1730 or 1 73 1, the French built a fort at Chimney Point, and a consider- 



FRANKLIN COUNTY. 19 



able population settled in the vicinity. In 1739, a ^ ew persons settled in 
Westminster, and about the same time a small French settlement was begun 
at Alburgh, on what is now called Windmill Point, but was soon abandoned. 
The colony at Westminster increased but slowly, and in 1754, the whole 
population, alarmed by the Indian attack upon Charlestown, N. H., deserted 
their homes. Forts were built, and small settlements were commenced in 
several other places, but fear of the Indians prevented any large emigration 
till after the last French war, when, the Province of Canada being then 
ceded to Great Britain, the fear of hostile incursions subsided, and the 
population rapidly increased. 

In the meantime, grants of land lying within the present limits of the State, 
had been made by the Dutch, at Albany, by the French, and by the colonies 
of Massachusetts, New Hampshire and New York, and each claimed juris- 
diction over tbem. All of these claims, except that of New York, however, 
were relinquished without much controversy, of which more will be spoken on 
another page. So eagerly were the lands sought by adventurers, speculators, 
and settlers, that in a single year subsequent to 1760, Governor Wentworth, 
of New Hampshire, granted in the name of King George III., not less than 
sixty townships of six miles square, and in two years more the number of such 
grants amounted to 138. The territory now began to be known by the name 
of " The New Hampshire Grants," and the number of actual settlers soon 
became quite large. The affairs of the settlers were managed by committees 
in the several towns, who met in general convention, when occasion required, 
to provide for the common defence and welfare. The decrees of these con- 
ventions were regarded as law, and violations of them were punished with ex- 
treme severity. While the Revolutionary war was in progress, the land con- 
troversy was suspended, and all efforts were directed towards the common 
enemy. But soon after the war broke out, it became apparent that the set- 
tlers of the New Hampshire Grants needed some better organization than was 
possible by means of committees and conventions. Early in 1776, a con- 
vention was held at Dorset, and an address to Congress was prepared, declar- 
ing the unwillingness of settlers to be regarded as subjects of New York. 
This was not favorably received by congress, whereupon the more resolute 
of the people determined to assume the powers of an independent State, and 
risk the consequences. Another convention was held at Dorset, in June, and 
met again by adjournment in September, when such measures were taken 
that at a convention held in Westminster it was decided, on the 16th of 
January, 1777, that the following declaration should be adopted : — 

"This convention, whose members are duly chosen by the free voice of 
their constituents in the several towns, on the New Hampshire Grants, in public 
meeting assembled, in our own names, and in behalf of our constituents, do 
hereby proclaim and publicly declare, that the district of territory compre- 
hending and usually known by the name and discription of the New Hamp- 
shire Grants, of right ought to be, and is hereby declared forever hereafter to 
be considered, as a free and independent jurisdiction or State, by the name 
and forever hereafter to be called, known, and distinguished by the name of 



FRANKLIN COUNTY. 



New Connecticut, alias Vermont: and that the inhabitants that at present 
are, or may hereafter become resident, either by procreation or emigration, 
within said territory, shall be entitled to the same privileges, immunities, and 
enfranchisements, as are allowed ; and on such condition, and in the same 
manner, as the present inhabitants, in future, shall or may enjoy; which are, 
and forever shall be considered to be such privileges and immunities to the 
free citizens and denizens, as are, or, at any time hereafter, may be allowed, 
to any such inhabitants, of any of the free and independent States of Amer- 
ica: And that such privileges and immunities shall be regulated in a bill of 
right sand by a form of government, to be established at the next adjourned 
session of this convention." 

The controversy between Vermont and New York had encouraged the 
British to make some concessions towards the former, hoping to retain their 
allegiance ; and it is well known that many of the settlers remained inactive 
during the latter part of the war, on account of these negotiations. It was 
openly avowed that any alternative would be preferable to the detested juris- 
diction of New York. Still Vermont persisted in the right to maintain her 
own laws, and as persistently did New York and New Hampshire maintain 
the right of jurisdiction. Congress was not yet willing to admit Vermont as 
a State, and she, disgusted with these delays, at length lost respect for the 
continental congress, pursuing her independence, and asking no favors ; en- 
joying no benefits of the Union, and sharing none of her burdens. But upon 
application, Vermont was admitted to the Union during the second session 
of congress, March 4, 1791, with the full rights and privileges of an indepen- 
dent State. Such is a brief outline of the history of the Green Mountain 
State, a territory that has rightly been called the "classic ground of America." 
Franklin county, as now constituted, once formed a part of the original 
counties of Albany, Charlotte, Bennington, Rutland, Addison, and Chittenden. 
The old Dutch county of Albany, with Albany, N. Y., as its capitol, extended 
north to the Province line. During the controversy between New York and 
the New Hampshire grantees, numerous writs of ejectment, executions, and 
other legal processes were issued out of, and made returnable to the courts 
at Albany, and were served, or at least were attempted to be served, by the 
sheriffs of that place. On March 12, 1772, New York, in order "that 
offenders may be brought to justice, and creditors may recover their just 
dues," proceeded to set off from Albany and erect a new county, called Char- 
lotte, on the western side of the mountains. Skenesboro, now Whitehall, was 
made the shire town, and Philip Skene appointed chief judge of the court of 
common pleas. After the organization of the State, however, on February of 
n, 1779, Vermont was divided into two counties, the Green Mountains form- 
ing the dividing line, the portion on the east being called Cumberland, and 
that on the west Bennington county. Each county was divided into 
two shires, that on the east into Westminster and Newbury, and Bennington 
and Rutland on the west. This division of counties remained till the extra 
session of the legislature, in February, 1781, when the county of Rutland was 
incorporated from Bennington, and Windsor and Orange counties were incor- 



FRANKLIN COUNTY. 



porated from Cumberland, and the name of Cumberland altered to Windham. 
Rutland county in turn extended through to the northern line of the State for 
a period of four years, eight months and five days, during which time courts 
were held at Tinmouth. The State, then, on October 18, 1785, dismembered 
the old county, incorporating from it a new one. called Addison, and made 
the towns of Addison and Colchester half shires. Chittenden county was 
then in turn set off from Addison, October 22, 1787, and November 5, 1702 
Franklin county was incorporated, the limits being fixed as follows : 

"Beginning at the northwest corner of Chittenden county, thence easterly 
on the northerly line of Chittenden county to the southeast corner of Sterling; 
from thence northerly on the easterly line of the towns of Sterling, Johnson, 
Belvidere, Avery's Gore, Montgomery, and Richford, to the north line of the 
State; from thence westerly on the line of the State to the west line thereof; 
from thence southerly on the west line of the State, to place of beginning." 

In November, 1802, the general assembly passed an act by which the towns 
of Alburgh, Isle La Motte and North Hero, in the county of Franklin,and the 
towns of South Hero and Middle Hero, in the county of Chittenden, together 
with all such lands as lie in the State, near the above mentioned towns, and 
more than a mile from the main land in the counties of Chittenden and 
Franklin, were constituted into a county by the name of Grand Isle. In Oc- 
tober, 1835, Franklin county was again circumscribed in its limits by taking 
from it the towns of Belvidere, Cambridge, Johnson, and Sterling, towards 
forming the county of Lamoille, other than which no changes have been 
made in its limits. 

Franklin county lies between lat. 44 31' and 45 ° o', and between longi- 
tude 3° 47' and 4 27', extending about thirty-four miles from east to west, 
and about thirty-three miles from north to south, containing an area of 600 
square miles, and has a population of 30,114. It comprises within its limits 
the towns of Bakersfield, Berkshire, Enosburgh, Fairfax, Fairfield, Fletcher 
Franklin, Georgia, Highgate, Montgomery, Richford, Sheldon, St. Albans, 
Swanton, and Avery's Gore, and is bounded on the north by the Province 
line, east by the counties of Orleans and Lamoille, south by Chittenden and 
Lamoille, and west by Grand Isle county, from which it is separated by a por- 
tion of the waters of Lake Champlain. 

In surface it is varied enough to form a most pleasing landscape, yet con- 
tains little waste land in mountains, lakes and rivers. The eastern part of 
the territory is broken and rocky, extending up upon the western range of the 
Green Mountains, while the western portion is comparatively level, and con- 
tains some of the finest farming lands to be found in the State. Manufactures 
are carried on to some extent, yet agricultural pursuits form the principal occu- 
pation of the inhabitants. The county is especially noted for its fine herds 
and flocks of cattle, horses and sheep, and for its large production of butter 
and cheese. Indeed, the whole county, possessing wonderfully pleasing 
scenery in itself, and surrounded by the most wonderful beauties of nature, 
and containing natural advantages and facilities for water and railroad trans- 



FRANKLIN COUNTY. 



portation, is all in all a most desirable home for both the manufacturer and 
the farmer. Numerous streams of minor importance are distributed over its 
surface, affording ample irrigation to the soil, but the Missisquoi and Lamoille 
rivers are the largest streams, and form the principal water courses of the 
territory. 

The Missisquoi river was named by the Indians, and said to mean " much 
water-fowl." It rises in Lowell, Orleans county, and, pursuing a northeasterly 
course through a part of Westfield and Troy, crosses the northern line of 
the State into Canada, where it receives a large stream from the northeast. 
After running several miles in Canada, it returns into Vermont about a mile 
west from the northeast corner of Richford. Thence it runs southwesterly 
through the corner of Berkshire, where it receives Trout river, into Enos- 
burgh. It then takes a westerly course through Sheldon, into Highgate, 
where it bends to the south into Swanton, and, after performing a circuit of 
several miles in that town, forms the boundary line between it and 
Highgate, and, flowing northwesterly, falls into Missisquoi bay near 
the Canada line. There are several falls and rapids in the stream, 
but the current is generally moderate and the river wide and shallow. 
It affords a considerable number of valuable sites for mills, while 
its valley is very fertile and productive. Its whole length, including its 
windings, is about seventy-five miles, and it receives the water from about 
582 square miles of territory. 

The Lamoille river is somewhat smaller than the Missisquoi. It rises in 
Greensboro, Orleans county, from the union of several small streams, flows 
southwest to Hardwick, when it turns northwesterly, passes through the 
center of Lamoille county, entering Franklin county in the southern part of 
Fletcher, crosses Fairfax and a portion of Georgia, and thence turns south 
into Milton, where it empties into Lake Champlain. It was discovered by 
Champlain, in 1609, and called by him La Mouette, the French for mew, or 
gull, a species of water-fowl, which were very numerous about the mouth of 
the stream. In Anger's map of his surveys, in 1732, it is called La Riviere a 
La Mouelle, probably a mista,ke on the part of the engraver in not crossing 
his fs. " Thus," says Mr. Thompson, " to the mere carelessness of a French 
engraver are we indebted for the smooth, melodious sounding name of 
Lamoille." 

Several inland lakes, or ponds, are scattered over the surface of the 
county, of which Franklin pond, in Franklin, is the largest. The others are 
Fairfield pond, in Fairfield, Proper and Cutler's ponds in Highgate, and Met- 
calf and Halfmoon ponds, in Fletcher. 

GEOLOGICAL. 

The geological formation of this county does not materially differ, in gen- 
eral structure, from that of most of the other counties of the State. Its 
rocks are distributed, like those of the others, in parallel ledges, or ranges, 



FRANKLIN COUNTY. 



2 3 



extending nearly in a north and south direction. Passing eastward from the 
shore of the lake, one finds an immense bed of Hudson River slates, extend- 
ing through the western portion of St. Albans, Swanton and Highgate, 
whence it extends into Canada. Lithologically, it consists of deposits of 
pure and impure limestone, clay slate, calcareous slate, interstratified with 
small beds of limestone, often sparry, silicious slate, sandstones, brecciated 
limestone, and slate filled with veins of calcite, etc. The group is 930 feet in 
thickness, and is the highest member of the lower Silurian rocks. 

The lake shore of the southern part of the country overlies a great vein of 
red sandrock, a continuation of the range in Chittenden county. It has a 
mean width of about three miles, and extends through the towns of Georgia, 
St. Albans, Swanton and Highgate. Stratigaphically considered, this bed oc- 
cupies the position of the Medina group, of New York, or its equivalent, the 
Levant series of Pennsylvania and Virginia. The sandstones and shales bear 
a close resemblance to those of the latter, not in color, but in the profusion 
of fucoid-like markings which they display on some of the parting surfaces. 
The series of reddish and gray limestones which rest upon these massive aren- 
aceous beds form an interesting feature in the geology of Vermont. Their 
altercation with layers of sandstone and shale, and their frequently reddish 
tint, would lead one to regard them as a continuation of the lower mass 
under somewhat new formative conditions. The whole formation, however, 
embraces a great variety of rocks, and there is some difficulty experienced in 
associating them together, because of the general absence of fossils. 

Between these two formations there is a narrow bed of Hudson river lime- 
stone, extending from the head of St. Albans bay to the Canada line, which 
contains much valuable building material, and an abundant supply for the 
manufacture of lime. This deposit is also cut by a small bed of Trenton 
limestone, which extends into Highgate from Canada. The former de- 
posit has been worked to some extent, especially in Swanton, as a variety of 
marble. 

Parallel with and adjacent to the red sandrock range, there is a bed of 
Georgia slates, some five miles in width and extending through the towns of 
Georgia, St. Albans, Swanton, Highgate and Franklin. The group of rocks 
forming this structure receives its name from the town of Georgia, where it is 
developed in its full proportions, and where the most interesting fossils have 
been found. In Rutland county the slate is manufactured quite extensively 
for roofing purposes and for various articles of furniture ; but in this county 
no quarries have been opened. 

Next in order is found a vein of quartz rock, extending from Chittenden 
county through portions of the towns of Georgia, Fairfax, Fairfield, St. 
Albans, Swanton, Sheldon, Highgate and Franklin, and adjacent to which is 
a large bed of talcose conglomerate extending the whole length of the county. 
This latter rock, according to Professor Adams, in his report of 1845, was 
called magnesian slate; but later its present name was considered more ap- 



24 



FRANKLIN COUNTY. 



propriate, and consequently adopted. The vein is a purely conglomerate 
species, having associated together in its formation the following varieties of 
rock : sandstones, breccias, quartz rock, calcareous rocks, novacuhte schist, 
talcose schist, and coarse conglomerates. The sandstones are few, while the 
quartz varietv is quite abundant. No estimate of the thickness of the rock 
has been made, but it is known to be 2,000 or 3,000 feet thick at the least 
calculation. 

The rocks underlying the residue of the county are of talcose schist forma- 
tion. Talcose schist proper consists of quartz and talc; but with this bed 
there are associated together, as integral parts of the formation, clay slate, 
with plumbaginous, aluminous, and pyritiferous varieties, hornblend schist, 
gneiss, quartz rock, sandstone and conglomerates, limestone and almites. 
Two quite extensive beds of pure gneiss and clay slate are found in the vein 
also. Iron and copper ores have been discovered in several localities 
throughout the county, and will be found noted in connection with the 
several towns wherein the deposits are found. 

STAPLE PRODUCTIONS. 

The whole of the county is an uncommonly fine farming territory, with a 
soil varying from clay and gravel to the finest alluvial deposits, and well 
adapted to grazing purposes, and the manufacture of butter and cheese. 
Considerable attention is given to raising fine bred cattle, horses, and sheep. 
Several flocks of Spanish Merinos are bred that will compare favorably with 
any in the State. Some idea of the extent of the products may be formed 
from the following statistics, taken from the census reports of 1870, though 
the reports for 1880, when tabulated, will doubtless show a material change 
in many of the figures. During that year there were 276,963 acres of im- 
proved land in the county, while the farms were valued at $16,663,493.00, 
and produced 49,431 bushels of wheat, 5,857 bushels of rye, 116,826 bushels 
of Indian corn, 308,587 bushels of oats, 14,275 bushels of barley, 13,793 
bushels of buckwheat, and 335,122 bushels of potatoes. There were also 
6,025 horses, 27,624 milch cows, 13,777 working oxen, 20,054 sheep, and 
4,564 hogs. From the milk of the cows was manufactured 2,984,520 pounds 
of butter, and 510,226 pounds of cheese, more than any other county in the 
State, while the sheep yielded 92,178 pounds of wool. 

The breeding of Spanish Merino sheep, for which Vermont is so justly 
celebrated, is conducted to a considerable extent, and with great success, in 
both Franklin and Grand Isle counties, though they do not possess so many 
valuable flocks as some of the other counties of the State. Their natural 
resources are favorable to the culture, and they will undoubtedly one day be 
noted in this respect. 

Both the Spanish and French Merino families are reckoned among the 
finest in the world. Their wool is fine, long, soft, and twisted in silky spiral 
ringlets, purely white in color, though naturally so oily that the fleece appears

dingy and unclean from the dust and dirt adhering to the outside. Both these 
breeds were introduced into America during the present century, the Spanish 
by Hon. David Humphreys, Minister to the Court of Madrid, in 1802, and 
the French by Mr. Taintor, of Hartford, Conn., in 1846. It is asserted by 
some, however, that three Spanish Merinos were brought to Boston in 1793, 
by William Foster, but were not preserved for breeding purposes. Since 
then, the names of Atwood, Jarvis, Hammond, Sanford, Stickney and others 
have become famous as breeders of this stock, and descendants of their 
flocks are now owned by breeders in these counties. There are two associa- 
tions for the registry of Merino sheep, having their offices in Middlebury, Vt., 
the Vermont Atwood Merino Sheep Club, with Worthington C. Smith, of 
St. Albans, president, and the Merino Sheep Breeders' Association, E. N. 
Bissell, of Shoreham, Vt, president. 

Our limited space does not admit of particular mention of the prominent 
breeders of this section, except as incorporated in the directory portion of 
the work, though it would be an interesting task to do so. 

. AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. 

The Franklin County Agricultural Society, the object of which was " the 
improvement of agricuitural productions, useful domestic animals, domestic 
manufactures and agricultural implements," was organized at St. Albans, Sep- 
tember 13, 1844. Eleazer Jewett, of St. Albans, was chosen president ; 
Michael F. Palmer, of St. Albans, vice-president ; Charles W. Rich, of Swanton, 
secretary ; and Alfred H. Huntington, of St. Albans, treasurer. The first 
annual fair was held on the public green, at St. Albans, September 25, 1845, 
when the sum of $169.00, received from the State, was awarded in premiums. 
From this time forward fairs were held each year, until 1861, when none were 
held until 1866. The society was then reorganized as the Franklin County 
Agricultural and Mechanical Society, with R. J. Saxe, president ; Dr. R. Pot- 
ter, and H. D. Farrar, vice-presidents; and L. H. Hapgood, secretary. Since 
that time fairs have been held at Sheldon. 

The fair ground contains thirteen acres, located at the junction of the St. 
J. & L. C. R. R. and the Missisquoi river, conveniently arranged for the 
purposes for which it is intended, and furnished with all appropriate buildings, 
etc. The society is now in a flourishing condition, with a reserve fund in its 
treasury. The present secretary, Mr. J. H. Stufflebean, who has held the 
office for the past thirteen years, has labored hard for the success of the soci- 
ety, and has done much to sustain its standing. Aside from three directors 
from each town, the present list of officers is as follows : — 

Gardner I. Fassett, of Enosburgh, president ; S. A. Risden, of East Fletcher, 
and W. H. McAllister, of West Enosburgh, vice-presidents ; J. H. Stufflebean, 
of East Sheldon, secretary; S. B. H. Stufflebean, of Sheldon, assistant secre- 
tary; Daniel B. Stetson, of Enosburgh Falls, treasurer; Charles H. Whitte- 
more, of Olmstead Falls, assistant treasurer; Benjamin C. Gallup, of North 
Sheldon, general superintendent; and John F. Draper, of Sheldon, marshall. 



26 FRANKLIN COUNTY. 



MEDICAL SOCIETY. 

The Franklin County Medical Society was incorporated by an act of the 
legislature, at an adjourned meeting held at Windsor, in January, 1804, under 
the head of " The Third Medical Society of Vermont," and embraced the 
counties of Franklin and Chittenden. 

The following named physicians were enrolled in the act of incorporation : 
John Pomeroy, Benjamin Chandler, Joseph D. Farnsworth, Nathaniel Wil- 
son, Truman Powell, David Tracy, Ephraim Little, Julius Hoyt, and Horatio 
Powell, and were given all the powers of an incorporate body, to transact busi- 
ness, sue or be sued, etc., and to hold property to the amount of two thousand 
dollars, in the interest of the society, and their successors in office to be em- 
powered with the same rights and privileges. This act required " the above 
named physicians to meet at the court-house in St. Albans, on the second 
Tuesday of May next," but failing to print the act in time to give due notice, 
there was no meeting held ; but at the next session of the legislature, held at 
Rutland, in October, 1804, a subsequent act was passed, requiring them to 
meet at the same place, viz : " The court-house in St. Albans, the first 
Tuesday of January next, and the proceedings of this meeting should be 
valid, as if met on the first mentioned time." Pursuant to the tenor of this 
act, the above named physicians convened and organized the Third Medical 
Society of the State of Vermont, and continued to hold their meetings at 
various places, semi-annually, until October, 1813, when the legislature passed 
an act to incorporate the State Medical Society, and a society in each of the 
counties of the State, and at which time Chittenden county withdrew, and 
formed a society under the name of their own county. 

The Franklin county society has continued to hold its sessions twice a 
year, ever since, with more or less enthusiasm. For several years after its 
organization, the society was in the habit of examining physicians and grant- 
ing licenses to those found qualified to practice the science of medicine. At 
this time there were few schools in this country, and not to exceed eight in 
America. The students of that day were not rich in this world's goods, and 
but a few were able to attend lectures in Boston or Philadelphia. They were, 
however, men of vigorous constitutions and energetic habits, able to sit in a 
saddle and journey over the rough roads during the whole twenty-four hours 
of a day, if need be. 

The society at present is in a flourishing condition, numbering about forty 
members, all graduates from some accredited school or college. They early 
adopted the code of ethics of the American Medical Association, and endeavor 
to live up to the requirements and spirit of it. This society has never been 
allowed to abase its meetings into that of a mere trades-union for individual 
emoluments or pecuniary gain, but has steadily kept the faith first implanted 
within it, viz : "progress in the healing art." The present officers of the society 
are G. S. Goodrich, M. D., of West Berkshire, president ; R. E. Welch, M. D., 
of Franklin, vice-president ; S. S. Clark, M. D., of St. Albans, secretary.

MANUFACTURES. 

The manufacturing interests are spoken of in detail in connection with the 
sketches of the several towns, so it would be a needless repitition to give the 
subject more than a passing glance at this point. The principal manufac- 
tures are lumber, in all its various branches, machinery, railroad iron, patent 
medicines, etc., while marble, lime, woolen cloth, etc., are manufactured to 
some extent. According to the United States census report of 1870, the 
county had 213 manufacturing establishments, operated by thirteen steam 
engines and 109 water-wheels, giving employment to 1,133 persons. There 
were $411,518.00 invested in manufactures, while the manufactured products 
were valued at $1,802,849.00. 

COURTS AND COUNTY BUILDINGS. 

At the organization of the county, St. Albans was chosen the shire town, 
where the supreme court meets on the first Monday after the second Tuesday 
in January, and the county court meets on the second Tuesday in April and 
September. The whole county constitutes a probate district. Ebenezer 
Marvin, was the first chief judge of the county. The house now occupied by 
Romeo H. Hoyt was built by Silas Hathaway, in 1794, and used by him as a 
tavern, and for a time the courts were held in its hall. The first court-house 
was originally built of wood, but finally bricked up. It was used for many 
years, by different denominations, for public worship, and by the town of St. 
Albans for its town meetings, commencing May 9, 1803. In 1872, the old 
court-house, built in 1830, was torn down, and the present commodious edifice 
erected upon its site, on the east side of the park. It is built of brick, with 
granite foundations. The first floor contains the offices of the county clerk, 
and grand and petit jurors' rooms, while the second floor contains the court 
room, judges' office, and jury and county committee rooms. The building is 
a substantial one, and though not yet entirely completed, has had $50,000.00 
expended upon it. 

In 1796, William Coit built a large house near the present site of the Con- 
gregational church, in the back part of which the first jail of the county was 
situated. The second, known as "the old basswood jail," was erected in 
1800, on what is now Bank street. The third jail was built in 1810, on the 
corner where the Episcopal church now stands. This was destroyed by fire 
December 25, 1813, and rebuilt the year following. The fourth was erected 
on the site of the present jail, in 1824, and was burned in March, 1827. A 
prisoner confined in the debtor's room, came near being destroyed with the 
building. The flames had made such progress before being discovered that 
the door of his cell could not be reached, and he was rescued, with some 
difficulty, through an opening made in the roof. The present jail was 
erected in 1852. 

The first trial in the county was during Jesse Welden's early settlement 
here. An improvident settler stole a quantity of corn from him, and was 



28 FRANKLIN COUNTY. 



tried and sentenced to receive thirty-nine lashes. In the year 1820, the first 
and only execution in the county took place at St. Albans. This was the 
hanging of Luther Virginia, for the murder of Rufus W. Jackson, in the 
town of Highgate, November 14, 18 19. Virginia was a young colored man 
of intemperate and dishonest habits. He had worked for Mr. Herrick, a 
hotel keeper at Highgate Falls, and was convicted of stealing money from 
the till of the bar, and was sentenced to a term in the State's prison. After 
the expiration of his sentence he settled in Canada near the line of High- 
gate. Sunday afternoon, November 4th, he came to Herrick's, partially in- 
toxicated, and demanded liquor. This being denied him, he became quarrel- 
some, and had some angry words with Jackson, who was present. He was 
finally expelled from the house and started, as was supposed, for home. 
Jackson, at sunset, started on horseback to go to the northern part of the 
town, crossed the bridge over the Missisquoi river, and ascended the hill be- 
yond, when he was knocked from his horse by Virginia, with a stake taken 
from the fence near by, and beaten to death. Virginia drew the lifeless body 
out of the road, and the riderless horse returned to the tavern. This created 
alarm for the safety of Jackson, and a party started off to search for him. 
The body was soon found, and Virginia was captured before morning at his 
home in Canada, and lodged in the jail at St. Albans. Jackson's watch was 
found secreted in his bed. He was convicted of wilful murder at a special 
session of the supreme court, December 13, 1819, and sentenced to be hung 
between the hours of ten in the forenoon and two o'clock, P. M., January 
14th, 1820. This sentence was carried into execution by Shiveric Holmes, 
the sheriff of the county, in a field on the north side of Congress street, 
opposite Governor Smith's stock barn. Virginia attended his own funeral 
service at the court-house, which was conducted by Rev. Fhineas Culver, 
who preached a sermon from Genesis ix., 6, — "Whoso sheddeth man's blood, 
by man shall his blood be shed." The execution was witnessed by a large 
concourse of people. 

Although this is the only execution that ever occurred in the county, there 
have been several atrocious crimes committed. On Sunday, October 16, 
1842, Eugene Clifford, residing in the northern part of Fairfield, murdered 
his wife and infant child, by drowning them in Fairfield pond. Clifford was a 
deserter from the British army, and had come to Fairfield, where he married 
Mrs. Elizabeth Gilmore, a widow, who owned a farm of some fifty acres. He 
had been told, and being an ignorant man probably believed, that if he outlived 
his wife and child this farm would be his own, and it is supposed that he then 
formed the purpose of bringing about their death. He invited his wife to 
cross the pond with him in a log canoe, and she and her infant were never 
seen again alive. In the course of an hour or two Clifford returned to the 
neighborhood of his home with the report that his wife, in the act of adjusting 
a shawl about her infant, had fallen from the canoe and both perished. Their 
bodies were recovered, but neither appeared to have a shawl about it, which 
excited considerable suspicion in the minds of the murderer's neighbors, who, 



FRANKLIN COUNTY. 2 Q 

from the first, had been loth to believe his story. A search for the missing 
garments was instituted, and they were at last found buried in the sand on the 
shore of the pond. This recovery of the shawls was rendered somewhat ro- 
mantic, from the fact of their place of concealment being revealed to Mrs. 
Stephen Marvin in a dream. She followed the course indicated by her dream 
and found the garments precisely as she had seen them in her vision. At least 
such is the common tradition. Clifford was arrested, tried, convicted, and 
on April 21, 1843, was sentenced to be hanged one year from that date; but 
before the day of execution arrived he became a raving maniac, and in that 
condition died. 

During one week in the month of July, 1874, two murders occurred in the 
town of St. Albans, which have since been known as the Ball murder, and the 
Minor murder. The former, from its peculiar atrocity and the mystery which 
long surrounded it, became noted throughout the whole country. The facts 
in the case were principally these : On the afternoon of Friday, July 24, 
1874, Miss Mariette Ball, daughter of George W. Ball, of St. Albans, was 
brutally assaulted and murdered, in the eastern part of the town. The young 
lady was teaching school in the Hill district, and on this occasion was going from 
the school-house to the home of a friend. At a lonely, wooded spot on the 
highway, she was brutally assaulted and murdered, and her body dragged into 
the woods, where it was not found until early on the morning of the following 
Sunday. Several arrests were made, but no person was held for the crime, 
and for several years it remained a mystery. Finally, Joseph LaPage, a 
Frenchman, was convicted of the murder of Miss Josie Langmaid, in New 
Hampshire, a young school teacher who was killed under circumstances sim- 
ilar to those attending the death of Miss Ball, and upon the eve of his execu- 
tion confessed to having also murdered Marriette Ball, thus clearing the sad 
mystery. 

The Minor murder occurred Monday afternoon, July 20, 1874, as follows: 
Joseph Minor, a Frenchman, belonging in St. Susa, P. Q., arrived in St. Al- 
bans on the evening of Saturday preceding the murder, being on a journey 
from Holyoke, Mass., to his home in Canada. He remained over Sunday 
with friends, and on the afternoon of the fatal Monday was on the railroad 
track near Brigham's crossing, where he met two men, and for some reason 
was drawn into an altercation with them. They assaulted him with knives 
stabbing him several times, from the effects of which he died several days 
after the assault. He was able to give but a meagre description of his assail- 
ants, and no clue to the perpetrators of the deed has ever been obtained. 

THE POOR. 

Those who from age, infirmity or otherwise, are unable to support them- 
selves, and are so unfortunate as to be obliged to rely upon public charity for 
sustenance, are cared for, in conformity with the laws of the State, by the 
towns wherein the unfortunates reside. 



30 FRANKLIN COUNTY. 



INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS. 

Previous to the introduction of railroads here, the county was, in a certain 
sense, in a state of partial isolation. The islands composing the county of 
Grand Isle cut it off from the main channel of the lake, which was the great 
highway of travel. In early times, the merchants, and others who had 
occasion to visit New York city, proceeded on horseback to Troy, and thence 
by sloop down the Hudson. Goods were freighted from New York to Troy by 
sloop, forwarded by wagons to Whitehall, and thence by sailing vessels to 
St. Albans Bay. When a line of steamboats was established on the lake, it 
was only a partial benefit to the county, as, to reach them, a land journey to 
Burlington was necessary, that being the nearest port at which they touched. 
The establishment of a steam ferry to Plattsburgh, in 1828, made a connection 
with the through steamboats at that point ; but little was gained, however, 
since transshipment at either point was unavoidable. The markets of Boston, 
and the great manufacturing regions of the East, could hardly be said to be 
available to the inhabitants at all, and the trade with that section, which has 
since attained such enormous proportions, had no existence. It may be 
believed, then, that the introduction of the iron sinews of the railroad into 
the life of the county, in 1847 anal x &5°, created a great innovation and 
marked a new era in her progress. Acres upon acres of her land are 
now covered by mammoth railroad buildings, and her entire territory is 
spanned by silver threads in a network composed of the rails of six distinct 
lines,— the Vermont & Canada, the Montreal & Vermont Junction, and the 
Missisquoi, all operated by the Central Vermont Railroad Co., and the St. 
Johnsbury & Lake Champlain, the Southeastern Townships, and the Canada 
Junction railroads, though the latter is not yet completed. 

As early as 1843, the legislature granted charters to several railroad com- 
panies, among which were charters for the Rutland & Burlington, and Ver- 
mont Central railroads. A company was incorporated under the latter 
charter, November 1, 1843, for the purpose, and with the right of building a 
railroad " from some point on the eastern shore of Lake Champlain, thence 
up the valley of the Onion river, and extending to a point on the Connecticut 
river, most convenient to meet a railroad, either from Concord, N. H., or 
Fitchburgh, Mass., to said river." The directors of this road claimed the 
right to build their road across the sand-bar to South Hero, to connect with 
a road which had been located from Ogdensburgh to Plattsburgh, N. Y. To 
this the directors of the Rutland & Burlington road objected. A movement 
was then instituted for a charter to an independent company, to build a road 
from Burlington northward to effect a connection with the roads to the city 
of Montreal. In October, 1845, mainly through the efforts of Hon. John 
Smith, the charter of the Vermont & Canada railroad was granted by the 
legislature to Benjamin Swift, John Smith, Lawrence Brainerd, William O. 
Gadcomb, Victor Atwood, Abel Houghton, Gardner G. Smith, Romeo H. 
Hoyt, Samuel W. Keyes, Stephen E. Keyes, Timothy Foster. George

Greene, Bradley Barlow, Peter Chase, Jacob Wead, William Greene, Hiram 
Bellows, Homer E. Hubbell, Isaac Patrick Clark, Alvah Sabin, Joseph Clark, 
Albert G. Whittemore, Daniel H. Onion, Oscar A. Burton, Horace Eaton, 
William Clapp, Asa Owen Aldis, and their associates and successors. 
The route established in the charter was as follows : — 

" From some point on the Canada line, thence through the village of St. 
Albans to some point or points in Chittenden county, most convenient for 
meeting, at the village of Burlington, a railroad to be built on the route 
described in the act to incorporate the Champlain & Connecticut River 
Railroad Company, and to some point or points in Chittenden county most 
convenient for meeting a railroad to be built on the route described in the 
act to incorporate the Vermont Central Railroad Company, and with the 
right, and for the purpose, of extending a railroad from any point in the 
aforesaid route to some point on the western shore of Grand Isle county, 
passing across the sand-bar to South Hero, as the said company may here- 
after designate." 

The project of a connection with the Ogdensburgh road, at Plattsburgh, 
was, from the first, regarded as very unpromising by those best acquainted 
with the locality. There were those who advocated the erection of a bridge 
from South Hero to Cumberland Head, a distance of four or five miles, and 
in a great depth of water. But the great majority of the people understood 
well that the connection could be made only by a ferry, and that, through the 
winter months, there could be no communication whatever, on account of 
ice. The village of Burlington demanded the abandonment of the project, 
and that the connection of the Vermont roads with the Ogdensburgh road 
should be made at Burlington. The directors of the Ogdensburgh road, at 
length, changed its location from Plattsburgh to Rouse's Point, where the 
channel of the lake was so narrow as to render bridging a matter of comparative 
ease. The attention of the public began to be strongly attracted to this new 
and apparently feasible route. The capitalists of Boston and other places, 
whose funds had hitherto been the main support of the Vermont roads, hesi- 
tated to advance further aid, except on the condition that an unbroken line 
of railway could be secured to the great lakes of the West. The Vermont & 
Canada railroad, therefore, in compliance with the statute, gave legal warning 
that an application would be made to the legislature for changes in their 
charter, which would give them the right to locate their road to the western 
shore of Alburgh, and build and maintain a bridge from that point to the 
west line of the State. A bill was accordingly introduced to the legislature, 
October 27, 1847, over which a contest ensued, which has few parallels in 
the history of the legislation of the State. The desired boon, however, was 
ultimately attained, though passing the house by a majority of two only. 

Stock to the amount of $100,000.00 only had been taken, barely sufficient 
to organize the company; and so much distrust in Vermont railroads was be- 
ginning to be felt, that the great capitalists hesitated. Several wealthy rail- 
road gentlemen of Boston had been placed on the board of directors, but they 
were not disposed to advance any great amount of funds, or to assume indi- 



32

vidual responsbility in the enterprise, yet it was a matter of vital importance 
that the work on its construction be commenced at once, else the enemies of 
the project might influence the legislature to repeal the act granting its 
amended charter. At this crisis, John Smith and Lawrence Brainerd, of St. 
Albans, and Joseph Clark, of Milton, decided upon a course as bold as it was 
ultimately successful. They proceeded to let the contract for grading and 
mason work to Messrs. Balch, Kearney, and Hindi, becoming personally re- 
sponsible for the expense, though in prosecuting the work they were obliged to 
borrow about $500,000.00 on their own credit, before money was realized from 
subscriptions to the stock of the company. The individual credit of these gen- 
tlemen proved sufficient to float the project, until by an arrangement with the 
Vermont Central Company, the stock was taken and the gentlemen relieved 
from the hazard they had incurred. 

Ground was broken early in September. 1848, in the northern part of 
Georgia, and the road was completed through to St. Albans, October 17, 
1850, the first train passing over it on the evening of the 18th, having among 
its passengers the members of the legislature from Franklin county. The 
entire line was opened early in the summer of 1851. On November 23, 
1872, the road came under the control of the Central Vermont Railroad 
Company, by the conditions of that company's charter, as follows: — 

" Such bondholders under the first or second mortgages of the Vermont 
Central Railroad, and such other persons as shall hereafter become stock- 
holders, are hereby incorporated under the name of the Central Vermont 
Railroad Company, for the purpose of purchasing the Vermont Central and 
Vermont & Canada railroads, or either of said roads, and for the purpose of 
purchasing or retiring by exchange or otherwise, the stock and bonds of the 
Vermont Central and Vermont & Canada companies, and for the purpose of 
operating and maintaining said roads." 

Several other roads have since been leased to this company, until it is now one 
of the largest in New England, with Hon. J. Gregory Smith, president ; J. W. 
Hobart, general superintendent; J. M. Foss, assistant general superintendent; 
A. Arnold, superintendent central division; I. B. Futvoie, superintendent 
northern division ; Jessie Burdette, superintendent Rutland division ; E. A. 
Chittenden, superintendent of local traffic; and Silas W. Commings general pas- 
senger agent, the principal office being located at St. Albans village. The 
branch of the road extending north into Canada, from Swanton Junction is 
known as the Montreal & Vermont Junction railroad. 

The Missisquoi railroad, extending from St. Albans to Richford village, 
where it connects with the Southeastern Townships railroad, which connects 
New Port, Vt., with Montreal, was leased or mortgaged to the Vermont 
Central road, September 26, 1870, as follows: — 

" The Missisquoi Railroad Company have organized under their charter, 
and have concluded a contract with George F. Harris & Co., to build their 
railroad from its point of junction with the Vermont and Canada railroad, in 
the village of St. Albans, in the county of Franklin, to the village of Rich- 
ford, in said county, being a distance of about twenty-eight miles, about nine 
miles of which railroad has been graded, and about five miles thereof has

the iron laid thereon, and which railroad is, by the contract with said Harris 
& Co., to be completed in the month of July, 187 1, and the said railroad 
company have found it necessary, in order to procure funds to furnish iron 
and complete their railroad, and pay land damages and other necessary ex- 
penses, to issue its bonds to the amount of $500,000.00, payable in twenty 
years from date, at seven per. cent interest, payable semi-annually, and to exe- 
cute a mortgage of their said railroad, to secure the payment of said bonds 
and interest ; and it being deemed for the best interest of said railroad com- 
pany to make arrangements with the trustees and managers of the Vermont 
Central and Vermont & Canada railroads, to run and operate their said rail- 
road, when completed, in order that said railroad may be run and operated in 
a prudent and economical manner, and that the payment of the said mort- 
gage bonds as it shall accrue, may be assured to the holders thereof." 

The St. Johnsbury &: Lake Champlain railroad, extending from Maquam 
Bay to St. Johnsbury, passes through the towns of Swanton, Highgate, Shel- 
don, Fairfield, and Bakersfield. It was formerly called the Lamoille Valley 
railroad, and was completed through to Swanton, and the first train of cars 
passed over it on Tuesday, July 17, 1877. Soon after this the road was com- 
pleted from the village of Swanton to the Bay, about two miles, where docks 
and ware-houses have been built. The first freight train passed over this 
portion of the road, August 23, 1877, loaded with coal for Messrs. Fairbanks. 
The first passenger train from the lake to the East, passed over the road in 
July, 1877. The train which took the first canal-boat load of marble from 
Swanton Falls to load a boat at Maquam, was shipped by George Barnev, of 
Swanton. The marble was used for the floors of the State, War, and Navy 
Department Building, at Washington, D. C. 

The Southeastern Townships railroad, extending from Newport, Vt, to 
West Farnham, P. Q., is a part of the railroad line from Montreal to Boston 
and New York city. It extends through only the northern portion of the 
town of Richford. 

The Canada Junction railroad, now being constructed by Hon. Bradley 
Barlow and his associates, is completed from the South Eastern Townships 
railroad to East Franklin, and is expected to be finished through to Sheldon 
Junction by June, 1883. 

NEWSPAPERS. 

During the first part of the present century, the first newspaper was 
established in the county, or counties, — for Grand Isle has always depended 
on Franklin county for this advantage, — an important era in the history of 
any community, for it marks the sure progress of enterprise. Since that time 
the county has not been without a paper, except at intervals of a few years 
each, and it now supports six ably conducted sheets. 

The St. Albans Adviser was the first paper published in the county. It 
was a small sheet, published at St. Albans, by Rufus Allen, in 1807, and con- 
tinued about one year.

FRANKLIN COUNTY. 



The Champlain Reporter was next commenced, in May, 1 809, issued from 
the office of Ambrose Willard, " in the new brick store on the southwest cor- 
ner of court-house square." The sheet measured 24 by 19 inches, and was 
printed on coarse, dingy paper, though edited, however, with considerable 
ability, by Abner Morton, a lawyer of some eminence, and a leading politician 
of the Federal party. He removed to Michigan after a time, and died there 
in September, 1863, aged ninety years. The paper was continued until the 
spring of 181 1, when it was discontinued from want of patronage. 

The Repository followed next in order, though for a period of twelve >ears, 
succeeding the demise of the Reporter, the county was without a publication 
of its own. In the winter of 1823, an energetic movement for the establish- 
ment of a newspaper in St. Albans was made, and Colonel Jeduthan Spooner, 
who had commenced the publication of the Repertory at Burlington, Oc- 
tober 1, 182 1, was invited by the citizens to remove his paper to St. Albans. 
After a visit to the town and a conference with the leading business men, he 
decided to comply with the request, and in May, 1823, the publication of the 
Repository was commenced in St. Albans. It became one of the ablest 
papers of the State, but the anti-masonic excitement operated against it, and 
its proprietor, having determined to emigrate to the West, closed its publica- 
tion April 26, 1836. 

The Franklin Journal was started at St. Albans, as an anti-masonic paper, 
May 1, 1833, and was edited a short time by Samuel N. Sweet. After this 
it was conducted by Joseph H. Brainerd, until December 7, 1837, when it 
was sold to Enoch B. Whiting, who changed the name to the St. Albans 
Messenger. The publication of the paper under this name was commenced 
December 14, 1837, and continued under the proprietorship of Mr. Whit- 
ing, who, in 1863, made it a daily and weekly, changing the name to the St. 
Albans Daily Messenger, until August 1, 1870, when it came into possession 
of Albert Clarke and J. Dorsey Taylor, by purchase. They also bought the 
Vermont Transcript and consolidated it with the Messenger, and enlarged the 
weekly paper from a folio to a quarto. In 1874, Mr. Clarke became sole 
proprietor by the death of Mr. Taylor. In 1878, he erected the present 
Messenger Building, on Kingman street, one of the finest and best arranged 
newspaper offices in the State. In September, 1880, Mr. Clarke sold the 
paper, S. B. Pettingill becoming nominal proprietor, and the latter also ob- 
tained the St. Albans Advertiser and consolidated the two, since which time it 
has been called the St. Albans Daily Messenger and Advertiser. The 
weekly Messenger is published on Fridays. In May, 1882, S. B. Pettingill 
retired, and was succeeded by D. W. Dixon as chief editor, and A. J. Lang as 
business manager. Dixon had been editorially connected with the Messenger 
most of the time since 1869, and Lang since 1874. The paper has 
a large influence, an extensive circulation, and, as previously mentioned, one 
of the best equipped offices in the State. 

The Franklin Republican, a weekly, was published at Sheldon, by J. W. 



FRANKLIN COUNTY. 35 



Tuttle, editor and proprietor, during the greater part of the years 1837, 1838, 
and 1839. It is said to have been a creditable sheet, and would compare 
favorably with many of the papers published in the State at the present time. 

The North American, published at Swanton, was commenced in 1838, the 
first number being issued April 10th, and was continued in weekly numbers 
until August 13, 1 84 1. It was published at first by H. P. Thomas, and 
edited by Americans and Canadians, the latter being at Swanton as refugees 
during the continuance of the so-called " Patriot War" of Canada. The last 
year or more it was published by J. B. Ryan. 

The Vermont Republican, published by C. G. Eldridge, at St. Albans, was 
commenced July 16, 1839. Some time afterwards Mr. Eldridge left, and D. 
A. Danforth became its editor and publisher. He continued the paper until 
April, 1846, when it was suspended. 

The Loco Toco, a small political sheet, was issued at Swanton a few weeks 
in the autumn of 1839, the first number appearing on the 15th of August. 

The Swanton Herald, at Swanton, was begun by Ripley & Chamberlain, in 
1852, and continued by them until the spring of 1853, when Rev. A. J. 
Samson began to publish and edit the paper, and continued it one year. 

The Democrat, by M. F. Wilson, was started at St. Albans in August, 
1852. In the spring of 1853, Darwin Mott became its proprietor, and con- 
tinued the paper for more than two years. It was then discontinued until 
August, 1858, when it was revived by M. F. Wilson and George Church, who 
continued its publication until the autumn of 1861. 

The Franklin County Herald, issued at Swanton Falls, appeared Novem- 
ber 5, 1853, under the management of the Drury Brothers, Lucius H. Drury 
being editor. This paper was intended to support the Democratic party, and 
was continued until some time in the winter of 1855. 

The Vermont Tribune was commenced at St, Albans, by Sampson & Som- 
erby, January 5, 1854. In September following, Z. K. Pangborn became its 
editor. It was discontinued in 1855. 

The American Journal, at Swanton, was issued March 10, 1855, by H. N. 
Drury, with Revs. William A, Miller and A. J. Samson, editors. It was in 
reality, however, published by an association of the citizens of Swanton for 
the express purpose of establishing a good family paper, sound in its morals, and 
calculated to benefit the community, in which respects it was by no means a 
failure. Messrs. Miller & Sampson ceased to act as editors March 14, 1856. 
Albert Sowles then became its editor and H. N. Drury publisher. The fifty- 
first and last number of the second volume appeared March 27, 1857. 

The Swanton Journal, of Swanton, appeared May 15, 1857, under the 
direction of H. N. Drury, as editor and proprietor. It was continued until 
November 6, 1857, when it was suspended, and Mr. Drury went to Burlington 
to reside. 

The Sync/ironist, also of Swanton, was edited and published by John 
Sawyer, Jr., at first as a bi-weekly, and afterwards as a weekly. The first 
number appeared in September, 1859, and the last in i860.

FRANKLIN COUNTY. 



The Franklin County Herald and Swanton Advertiser was started at 
Swanton in 1862, the first number being issued March 7, by J. Ketchum 
Averill, editor and proprietor. It was continued in Swanton until August of 
the same year, when it was removed to St. Albans, where its publication was 
continued only a short time, when Mr. Averill gave up his paper and enlisted 
in the 7th N. Y. Vols., and died at. Morris Island, S. C, in December, 1863. 
The Vermont Transcript was established at St. Albans in March, 1864, by 
Henry A. Cutler. May 20, 1866, it became the property of Wilbur P. Davis, 
who, in May, 1868, commenced the publication of The Daily Transcript. 
In 1868, C. H. Baker and J. H. Montefiore became its proprietors. In 1870, 
the paper was sold to Clarke & Taylor, who merged it with the daily and 
weekly Messenger. 

Le Protecteur Canadienne, a paper published in the French language, was 
commenced at St. Albans by Rev. Z. Druon, in 1869. Mr. Druon was 
succeeded by A. Mousette, with Fred Houde, editor. In 1872. it was sold, 
and removed to Worcester, Mass. 

The St. Albans Transcript was commenced in August, 1870, by J. H. 
Montefiore and A. N. Merchant. In November of the same year A. N. 
Merchant became sole proprietor, by purchase, and continued the publication 
until 1872. 

The Franklin Journal was commenced at Swanton, in February, 1870, by 
A. N. Merchant, publisher and proprietor. After about one year the press 
on which it was printed was removed from Swanton, and the paper continued 
to be issued at another place, under the above name, for about four years, 
when it was purchased by C. S. Kinsley & Co., of Burlington. 

The Vermont Temperance Advocate was established at St. Albans, by 
Clarke & Taylor, in 187 1, taking the place of a smaller paper of that name 
published at Springfield, Vt. It was edited by W. H. H. McAllister, as the 
oro-an of the Good Templars of the State, and was continued about one year, 
when it died from want of patronage. 

The St. Albans Advertiser, a morning daily and weekly, was established by 
a stock company in the autumn of 1873, with A. J. Samson, business man- 
ager, and Lucius Bigelow, editor. Several changes occurred from that time 
down to September, 1880, when it was consolidated with the Messenger. 
Hiram S. Hart, A, P. Cross, and J. F. McGowan, were successively business 
managers, and Stephen E. Royce and Edward S. Sears, editors. Before consol- 
idating with the Messenger, S. B. Pettingill was editor. The morning edition 
was discontinued after about two years, and the daily issued at noon, then 
at 5 P. M. Once or twice the daily was discontinued altogether, and a semi- 
weekly edition substituted. When the daily was finally re-established, the 
weekly was discontinued, and the semi-weekly issued. 

The Swanton Courier, published at Swanton, was commenced by its 
present editor and proprietor, T. M. Tobin, March 10, 1877. This paper 
is a live weekly, and though not a large sheet, contains much well-edited news, 



FRANKLIN COUNTY. ,~ 

a particularly interesting feature being the great variety of local items it furn- 
ishes its readers. 

The Fairfax Advertiser, a small, half sheet bi-weekly, was commenced in 
Fairfax, by F. H. Sanborn, about 1879, and continued a little over a year. 

The Encsburgh Reporter, a weekly, was commenced at Enosburgh, by W. 
S. Roberts, in 1879, and continued by him until the spring of 1880. 

The St. Albans Home Journal was established by Charles H. Hibbard 
October 1, 1881, and issued weekly by him until September, 1881, when it 
was purchased by J. H. Montefiore, and consolidated with the Vermont 
Record. 

The Vermont Record, a weekly, published at St. Albans, was estab- 
lished by J. Ff. Montefiore, June 29, 1882. The Record is a neat, twenty- 
eight column paper, published each Wednesday. 

The Vermont Sentry was established at Swanton, by its present 
editor and proprietor, C. R. Jamason, February 2, 1882. This paper is a 
large, eight-page sheet, ably conducted, and its sturdy infancy gives promise 
of a hardy old age. 

The Frontier Sentinel was established at Richford, by M. F. Wilson, about 
1866, and issued by him until he sold it to J. B. Bowditch, who continued it 
eight years. In March, 1875, it came into the hands of William F. Scott 
and Carmi C. Brown. On October 16th, of the same year, Mr. Brown sold 
his interest in the sheet to Charles L. Reed, of Enosburgh Falls, and the firm 
name was changed to Scott & Reed. The following January Mr. Scott 
retired from the enterprise, and from that time until March 16, 1876, Mr. 
Reed conducted the paper alone ; but on that date he sold the office to L. 
P. Bailey, and retired from the business. Bailey continued the paper until 
the 2 2d of the following October, when he sold it to C. R. Kent, of St. Johns- 
bury. Mr. Kent retained the office one week, when he gave it up and left the 
town, and the property reverted to the hands of Bailey again, who suffered 
the publication to die out and become extinct. The Sentinel was a little less 
than ten years of age, when it died, and during its brief life had endured many 
trials and afflictions. In 1878, the office, fixtures, etc., were sold to L. Ff. 
Goff, who, with his son and son-in-law, established the Richford Gazette, 
which is now a popular sheet. 

The Green Mountain Journal was established by Charles L. Reed, Octo- 
ber 15, 1878. It was then issued as an eight-page, thirty-two column paper, 
but in November, 1881, Mr. Reed enlarged it and changed its name to the 
Richford Journal. The Journal has steadily increased in prosperity, and 
now stands on a firm basis. 

ABORIGINAL OCCUPANCY. 

The whole territory of Vermont, previous to its settlement by Europeans, 
was claimed as a hunting ground by several tribes of Indians who were hostile 
to each other, and consequently was often the scene of their savage wars, 



38 FRANKLIN COUNTY. 



whose constant invasion prevented its being made the permanent home of 
either of the tribes. Still there are abundant evidences that at some period 
the Indians must have resided here in large numbers. A branch of the 
Abenaquis tribe were the aboriginal occupants of this section of the country; 
and, indeed, they lingered upon their rightful soil, at the mouth of the 
Lamoille river, and thence north along the Missisquoi bay, for a long time 
after the French and English had taken possession of the country to the 
north and south of them. When Mrs. Howe and others were taken at 
Bridgeman's fort and carried into captivity, in 1755, the northern parts of 
Lake Champlain were in the possession of the St. Francis tribe of Indians, 
who wintered there in large numbers and subsisted by hunting and fishing; 
and as late as the time of the Revolutionary war, a branch of this tribe had a 
village at Swanton, consisting of about fifty huts, with a church, Jesuit mis- 
sionary, and had some land under cultivation. About the year 1798, the 
Caughnawaga Indians advanced a claim to most of the lands lying between 
Lake Champlain and the Green Mountains, and importuned the legislature 
of Vermont, at several sessions, for remuneration for the same, but without 
success. 

Aside from the relics of the village in Swanton, arrow-heads, spear-points, 
and other weapons of offense and defense have been found in nearly every 
town throughout the county. These relics, however, seem to exist in the 
greatest numbers in the vicinity of Franklin pond. Mr. Edward Powers, of 
Franklin, has a collection of from 200 to 300 arrow-heads that he has found 
upon the shores of this pond. Still, as we have stated before, neither this 
nor any other locality in the State seems to have" been the Redman's 
home; at least not within historic times. Vermont was rather a territory to 
which all laid claim, and was used in common as a hunting, fishing, and 
battle-ground, by the St. Francis tribe on the north, their principal settlement 
being at Montreal, or Hockhelaga, as it was then called ; the Narraganset on 
the east, with their principal settlement on the Merrimac river ; the Pepuquoits 
on the south, inhabiting the northwestern part of Connecticut ; and the Iro- 
quois, or Mohawks, as they were commonly called, on the southwest, their 
principal settlement being at Schenectady, N. Y., on the Mohawk river. 

The origin of the Indian cannot be determined by history, nor will cal- 
culation ever arrive at a probable certainty. Some writers have declared that 
they were indigenous, while others maintain the opinion of their migration; 
and both classes, with perhaps a few exceptions, consider them the extreme 
of human depravity, and outcasts of the world. Now, while we do not dis- 
pute this sentiment entirely, let us, in justice, glance at the other side of the 
question. Criminations have been thrown upon them, they have been 
driven from their possessions, then in turn driven from others they had 
obtained, and thus, over and over again, the quietness of their dwellings has 
been interrupted by insolent invaders. But above all, dissipation, introduced 
among them by their civilized neighbors, has plunged them still deeper into 



FRANKLIN COUNTY. 



39 



wretchedness and barbarity. Might they not, had other treatment and other 
circumstances been brought to bear, be other than the degraded people they 
now are ? 

WHEN FIRST SETTLED BY THE WHITES. 

The first settlement of the county, of which we have any record, is sup- 
posed to have been in Swanton, as previously mentioned ; though most of 
the relics of the old mission have been found just over the river in Highgate. 
During the many years that Lake Champlain and its environs were in the 
possession of the French, nearly the whole of the present county was granted 
to different French parties, and was actually mapped out, and the several 
grants named after their respective French proprietors. The land now com- 
prising the towns of Swanton, Highgate, St. Albans and Georgia, was granted 
to M. de Bauvis, fils, and to M. Douville. According to a map of this section 
published at London, in January, 1779, a copy of which may now be found 
in the first volume of the " Documentary History of New York," Swanton, 
or the greater portion of it, is called Prattsburgh ; in the vicinity of what is 
now known as Sheldon, there is exhibited a concession to Lord George Town- 
send & Co. ; south of this there lie grants made to Nathan Stone & Co., in 
St. Albans ; to Josiah Willard & Co., and C. H. Gordon, in Fairfax, Fairfield 
and Georgia; to Samuel Ashley & Co., in Bakersfield; Kellybrook township, 
in Fairfax, and to W. O. Huddleston and E. Robinson, John Gordon and 
the Governor of King's College, in Fletcher. No attempt at settlement, 
however, was probably ever made under any of these grants. 

The first settlers were emigrants from New England, and for the most part 
of English origin, a hardy, enterprising people. At the time of their settle- 
ment the territory was an unbroken wilderness, and but lately released from 
exposure to the cruelties of Indian depredations and warfare. Hence, none 
but the spirited and enterprising would place themselves in a situation so 
lonely. The character of the people, like the roughness of their native 
mountains, was bold and unyielding. Acquiring by their own exertions and 
ascendency over the perplexing difficulties that beset them, high notions of 
liberty and independence were entertained, and great confidence placed in 
their own abilities. Such were the forefathers of the present people of Frank- 
lin county. 

A very few settlers came in previous to the Revolution, whose settlement 
will be spoken of in connection with the sketches of the towns wherein they 
dwelt ; but all left with the advent of the war, and until after peace was de- 
clared, no settlements were again commenced. Immigration became rapid 
then, however, and grants were rapidly taken up, so that at the taking of the 
first census, in 1791, the county had a population of 1,372. 

LAND TITLE CONTROVERSY. 
As the county had no large population to take an active part in the scenes 
of strife that occurred between the people of the New Hampshire Grants 



4° 



FRANKLIN COUNTY. 



and New York, we shall give this subject but a passing notice. It must be 
remembered, however, that many who ultimately became early settlers of the 
county, came from the southern part of the State, where they had taken an 
active part in the quarrel with their New York cousins. 

The grant of Bennington, made in 1749, gave rise to the controversy, as 
New York soon after laid claim to the territory as far east as the Connecticut 
river. The question in dispute was settled by the King, July 20, 1764, order- 
ing that the Connecticut river, from the line of Massachusetts to 45 north 
latitude, should be the boundary between the two provinces from that time 
forward. But the government of New York did not accept the full intent of 
this decision, and called upon the settlers to take out new grants,' declaring 
those of New Hampshire illegal. Those who did not obey this call, found 
their grants contested by new claimants, whom the New York courts declared 
lawful owners. Thus the quarrel continued, producing more irritation, until, 
in 1769, the King prohibited the Governor of New York from issuing any 
more grants " until his majesty's further pleasure should become known." 
Meanwhile civil disturbances and open defiance to the New York authorities 
continued to such an extent that, in 1774, a law was passed by New York, 
ordering the surrender of offenders under penalty of death. In reply, Ver- 
mont returned a public letter, threatening death to any who should aid in 
arresting any of her leading citizens. About this time a plan was made for 
the formation of a royal province, but the Revolutionary war soon absorbed 
every other interest. In 1789, New York acknowledged the independence 
of Vermont, and endeavored to adjust all matters of dispute, having pre- 
viously made grants to those who had suffered by adhering to her allegiance, 
while Vermont in turn paid into the treasury of New York thirty thousand 
dollars. 

REVOLUTIONARY WAR. 

With Vermont, the Revolutionary contest possessed a double interest, and 
while she lent her aid to redress national grievances, she also maintained a 
spirited contest on her own account, resolving to secure her independence 
from New York. The territory treated of in this work, however, has none 
of the romantic stories and traditions of this period that grace the annals of 
localities earlier settled. The people of the New Hampshire Grants, as may well 
be supposed, entered with an especially hearty zeal into this contest. Their 
schooling had been such as to render them an exceedingly undesirable foe to 
meet, as a large portion of the settlers had served in the French and Indian 
war, and during the twelve or fifteen years that intervened, had been almost 
continuously at strife with New York, and entertained a feeling of deadly 
hatred against King George and the British Parliament. It is not strange, 
then, that the Green Mountain Boys were soon both feared and respected 
by their adversaries. The few who had settled in Franklin county, left, as 
previously mentioned, on the approach of Burgoyne. 



FRANKLIN COUNTY. 41 



WAR OF 181 2. 



The yoke of the mother country having been thrown off, the American 
colonies rapidly advanced in progress. Vermont expanded into a free and 
independent State, and finally was annexed to the Union, March 4, 1791. 
In the meantime, the French nation, led by Napoleon Bonaparte, had arrived 
at the zenith of military glory, and was giving England great cause for fear 
and trembling. England, in turn, seeming to forget that her offspring had ar- 
rived at maturity and was quite able to protect its own institutions, continued 
her acts of tyranny. Looking upon herself as mistress of the ocean, during 
her wars with Napoleon, she utterly disregarded the rights of the United States 
as a neutral nation. Her cruisers would stop and search American vessels, 
and seize such able bodied seamen as were needed, on the pretext that they 
were British subjects. An American frigate, not in condition to resist, having 
been subjected to this indignity almost within sight of an American port, 
after receiving several broadsides for denying the right of search, the Presi- 
dent issued a proclamation ordering all British ships-of-war to quit the waters 
of the United States. Congress also laid an embargo on American vessels? 
detaining them at home, but afterward substituted a non-intercourse act, 
prohibiting trade with Great Britain. All intercourse between this State and 
the people of Canada was prohibited, without permit from the Governor, 
under a penalty of $1,000 fine and imprisonment at hard labor in the State 
penitentiary for the term of seven years. 

Notwithstanding all this, England persisted in her offensive course. All 
hopes of obtaining concessions on the impressment question from her were 
at length abandoned. George III., who was still on the throne, had become 
insane, and the men who managed affairs were as short-sighted as his ad- 
visers had been forty years before, whose folly had provoked the Revolution. 
Longer submission to their arrogant claims was deemed unworthy of a free 
nation, and war was formally declared by the United States, June 18, 181 2. 

The majority of the people of Vermont considered the declaration of war 
rash and imprudent, believing that the required issue could have been brought 
about by legislation • but notwithstanding this feeling, the general assembly 
of the State passed the following resolution : — 

"The constituted authorities of our country having declared war between 
the United States and Great Britain and her dependencies, it is our duty as 
citizens to support the measure ; otherwise we should identify ourselves with 
the enemy, with no other difference than that of locality. We therefore 
pledge ourselves to each other and to our government, that with our individ- 
ual exertions, our example and influence, we will support our government and 
country in the present contest, and rely on the great Arbiter of events for a 
favorable result." 

Both Franklin and Grand Isle counties were well represented in this 
trouble, and sustained with honor the reputation of their State. The list 
of their soldiers during this war, so far as known, will be found incorporated 



42 FRANKLIN COUNTY. 



with the several town sketches, and to their pages we refer the reader for 
further mention of the part taken by the citizens of these counties in those 
stirring times. 

In the summer of 1814, the British, having concentrated 14,000 men near 
the foot of Lake Champlain, undertook an invasion of the States, somewhat 
on the plan of Burgoyne in 1777. There had been skirmishing throughout 
the season ; but when in August most of the American troops were transferred 
to the Niagara frontier, Gen. Prevost improved the opportunity to march 
upon Plattsburgh. Here Gen. Macomb, in command of the Americans, had 
made all the preparation in his power for a vigorous defense ; but he had only 
2,000 efficient men, and lacked ordnance, while his works were still incom- 
plete. Commodore McDonough had also strained every nerve to make ready 
for the British fleet, which was to act in conjunction with the army. His 
flagship was launched within forty days from the time that the trees used in 
its construction were standing in the forest. Despite all his exertions, how- 
ever, in the number of his vessels, guns, and men, he was inferior to the 
enemy. 

The British army, having reached Plattsburgh, was there held in check by 
Macomb, who, strengthened by the brave militia of Vermont and New York, 
had taken a position on the south side of the Saranac river. But the fate of 
the battle was to be decided on the water. On the nth of September, the 
British flotilla drew near to Plattsburgh, and McDonough joined battle, after 
having on deck of his vessel invoked the blessing of God upon his cause. 
Two hours of terrible fighting resulted in victory for the Americans as signal 
as had been that of Perry on Lake Erie. The British commander, who had 
boasted that with his flag-ship alone he could whip the whole Yankee fleet, 
was killed, and his entire squadron struck. Thus ended the Battle of Platts- 
burgh Bay, one of the great naval engagements of the world. 

The British commissioners, at first unreasonable, lowered their tone after 
the battle of Plattsburgh and the subsequent battle of Baltimore, and on the 
24th of December, 1815, a treaty of peace was signed at Ghent, in Belgium, 
ending the war. Once more the Green Mountain Boys settled down to the 
peaceful avocations of life, to be aroused again not until many years after, 
when the terrible civil struggle of 1861, called them again into the field. Some 
of the old veterans still are living in the county, a remnant of the gallant ones 
who gave England her final lesson in Yankee pluck. 

THE PATRIOT WAR. 

The rebellion of the French population of Canada against the rule of the 
sovereign of England, in 1837-39, was the cause of no ordinary excitement 
among the people along the northern frontier. The history of that abortive 
attempt at a revolution does not properly belong in this publication, and is 
mentioned only on account of the consequent excitement it occasioned here. 



FRANKLIN COUNTY. 43 



That the people of these counties should have regarded with indifference the 
struggles of a conquered race, however unpromising, to throw off a foreign 
domination and establish a government and institutions of their own, was not 
for a moment to be expected. In the early days of this rebellion, several 
gentlemen, having become subjects of suspicion to the officers of the govern- 
ment, and in danger of arrest, left their homes for a season and took up a 
temporary residence at St. Albans. Among these were R. S. M. Bouchette, 
a young man of high family connection, splendid abilities and fine personal 
appearance; Dr. Cyril Cate, a young physician of influence and promise, and 
P. P. Demory, a respectable notary of St. Johns, with others of more or less 
distinction in their communities. In Swanton, which was made a kind of 
headquarters, the patriots, as they styled themselves, gathered to the number 
of two or three hundred. Two or three skirmishes occurred in Alburgh, 
Highgate, and other points, all of which tended to make the loyal people 
of Canada feel unfriendly to the harborers of their enemies. Many buildings 
were burned, it is supposed, by loyalists, along the line in Alburgh and High- 
gate, during the spring of 1839. Finding that affairs were assuming a threat- 
ening aspect, Brig. -Gen. Nason promptly repaired to the frontier and called 
out the militia to guard against these invasions. This silenced the matter, 
and the people finally settled down to their accustomed pursuits, and many 
doubtless regretted that they had expressed so much sympathy for a cause 
which turned out so disastrously. 

THE WAR OF THE UNION. 

After the war with Mexico, 1846-48, the country enjoyed thirteen years 
of peace, — years of great improvement in the condition of Franklin and 
Grand Isle counties, a counterpart of the prosperity enjoyed by the whole 
State. Indeed, the war with Mexico had scarcely disturbed the even tenor 
of her way, as so few of her sons were engaged in the strife, the active scenes 
of which were so far removed. Except for display at celebrations, or as curi- 
osities, the old sword and musket were unseen. The " Green Mountain 
Boys " had passed away to join the spirits of their brave commanders, while 
their names were perpetuated alike in the annals of history and romance. Their 
children and grandchildren were enjoying the bounties of the verdant fields 
they had struggled so hard to win ; but amid all the enervations of peace and 
plenty, the spirit and blood of such men as Allen, Baker, Stark, and Warner, 
yet coursed in their veins, ready to reveal its latent power, like the trained 
battle horse, at the first clash of arms. 

The morning of April 12th, 1861, dawned bright and fair, yet dense with 
weight of woe that overspread the land. The fatal shot upon Sumpter had 
been fired, and for the first time in its young life, since first unfurled to the 
breeze o'er the decks of the "Ranger," proudly bearing its "emblem of per- 
petuity," — the wreath of thirteen stars, — the flag of the Union had been 
desecrated.

FRANKLIN COUNTY. 



The causes leading to this terrible civil war we need not repeat ; the re- 
sults are patent to every household in this broad land. To some, however, 
the word " results " has a peculiar significance. It recalls to the memory of 
the wife, the husband's face so kind and true; to the son and daughter, the 
loved lineaments of their sire ; and to the parent, the noble form of their 
bright and promising son, all of whom now are resting in the quiet church- 
yard, or, mayhap, whose bones are bleaching in the sand that drained their 
blood at the fearful carnage of Gettysburgh, Antietam, Fredericksburgh, or 
other fields where perished so many of our noble dead. But, ye wives, par- 
ents, brothers and sisters, the nation's honored dead o'er whose graves you 
weep, have left you a valuable legacy, a bequest in which none but you can 
share — the glory that surrounds their names ! 

Vermont's sons soon proved their " lineal descent from warlike men," and 
" The Green Mountain Boys " became again an honored title of the present, 
adding lustre to the fame which already clustered about it. Of this band, 
34,238 were sent to fight the battles of their country, and $9,087,352.40 of 
Vermont's treasure were expended in the cause. But her greatest treasure 
was the 5,128 noble souls she sacrificed upon the altar of freedom, while 
5,022 loyal ones were returned to their homes with shattered constitutions, 
or maimed in body. Surely, a bountiful contribution towards the preserva- 
tion of our " Grand Republic." 

These counties furnished their full quotas, both of men and means, and bore 
a most honorable part in all of the great war's honors and vicissitudes. During 
the first year, in 1861, no special inducements were offered for enlistments, 
save $7.00 per month paid by the State to the soldiers and their families, and 
then more soldiers volunteered than were required. In the summer and 
autumn of 1862, some towns paid small bounties, from $25.00 to $75.00 for 
three year's men. In 1863, town bounties ranged from $100.00 to $350.00 
for three year's men, and in 1864, the highest point was reached, from 
$500.00 to $1,000.00. The town of Fairfield paid as high as $1,000.00 for 
one year's men in the summer of 1864, while the town of Montgomery paid 
nothing throughout the war, except to drafted men. 

The following complete roster of men sent as commissioned officers, and 
of those, who, enlisting in the ranks, were subsequently promoted to a com- 
mission, is compiled from the Adjutant and Inspector-General's report of 
1866, and from other sources. For convenience sake, the names are ar- 
ranged in alphabetical order, the dates referring to commissions, the date of 
muster being omitted : —

IN CONCLUSION. 

It may be well to state that the War Department accredited to this State 
5,242 men; being one thousand and four more than are shown by the State 
records, and gives the State credit over the aggregate quota under all calls, 
of fifteen hundred and thirteen men. " This discrepancy may be and proba- 
bly is to be accounted for," says Adjutant-General P. T. Washburn, "by en- 
listments in organizations of other States, 1o the credit of this State, which 
appear upon muster rolls of those organizations and were not reported to the 
State." 



GRAND ISLE COUNTY. 



ipT is probable that the first European whose eye ever rested upon this lo- 
fM& cality was Jacques Carder. In 1535, he was commissioned by Francis I., 
W of France, with the command of an expedition to explore the western 
hemisphere. Having discovered the gulf and river St. Lawrence as far as the 
present site of Montreal, he found there an Indian encampment, or village, 
known as Hocelaga. An Algoquin chief, Donnacona. conducted him to the 
summit of Mount Royal, and showed him a beautiful country to the south, 
which he called Iroquoisia, and told him of great rivers and inland seas and 
of smaller rivers and lakes penetrating this beautiful territory, belonging to 
the war-like Iroquois. Many years afterward, Samuel Champlain, accom- 
panied by a party of friendly Hurons, proceeded to the locality described by 
Cartier, and on the fourth day of July, 1609, entered upon the waters which 
perpetuate his name, and consequently was the first white man to enter the 
territory which now bears the name of Grand Isle county. 

Away up in the northwestern corner of the State this county lies, between 
lat. 44 35' and 45" o', and between long. 3 39' and 3 47', embosomed in 
the waters of Lake Champlain, having a length of twenty-eight miles from 
north to south, and a width of about five miles. It contains eighty-two 
square miles, 40,070 acres, about 4,126 inhabitants, and is divided into five 
towns, — Alburgh, Grand Isle, Isle La Motte, North Hero, and South Hero. 

After the division of the State into counties (see page 20) and the subse- 
quent erection of Franklin county, November 5, 1792, the towns of Alburgh, 
Isle La Motte and North Hero were set to Franklin county, leaving Grand 
Isle and South Hero still under the jurisdiction of Chittenden county. This 
arrangement was peculiarly unsatisfactory to the people of Grand Isle county, 
as it virtually divided the five townships, thereby creating many inconven- 
iences of a public nature. The people of these townships were bound to- 
gether, in a greater or less degree, by local attachments and interests, and 
they therefore deemed that their public and private welfare would be essen- 
tially promoted by a political separation from the main land, and the erection 
of the five towns into a distinct county. There were, in the outset, many 
influential persons, however, who opposed this project determinately, and for 
a time successfully. The subject was agitated as early as 1792, but no meas- 
ures were instituted to carry out the scheme until September, 1794, when a 
petition was drawn up, praying for the formation of a new county, to be 
called the " Hero," and asking for that purpose all the islands in Lake Cham-

plain, north of Colchester Point, and east of the channel of the lake, to lat. 
45 , including Alburgh. This petition was signed by twenty-three citizens 
of Alburgh, eight of Isle La Motte, twenty-nine of North Hero, and sixty- 
three of South Hero and Grand Isle. It was presented to the legislature at 
its October session of the same year, and referred to a select committee, 
which, after some deliberation, asked to be discharged from its further con- 
sideration ; and the matter was thereupon referred to the next legislature. 
The subject was urged and discussed, with more or less pertinacity, from this 
time until 1802, but without effect. After repeated trials, in which popular sen- 
timent in favor of the measure had gradually gained strength and potency, 
the assent of the legislature was finally, though reluctantly, secured, and the 
new county incorporated November 9, 1802. The following are the provis- 
ions of the act of incorporation : — 

" First, That the towns of Alburgh, Isle La Motte and North Hero, in 
the county of Franklin, and the towns of South Hero and Middle Hero, in 
the county of Chittenden, together with all such islands as lie in the State 
near the above mentioned towns, and are more than a mile from the main 
land, in the counties of Chittenden and Franklin, be, and they are hereby 
constituted a distinct county, by the name of Grand Isle. Second, That at 
the session of the legislature, in October, 1805, the said county of Grand 
Isle shall be organized for the transaction of all legal business as a county." 

The surface of the country is generally level, though diversified with 
occasional hills and small tracts of rolling land, while the scenery is varied 
and attractive. There are no streams or inland lakes of importance, but the 
lake whose waters nearly surround the county amply compensates for any 
loss of beauty or interest on this account. Not only in beauty, however, 
does this lake excel, for around none other of the continent hover historical 
associations so brilliant and memorable. Long before any European had 
looked upon its silver waters, its long and narrow track, adapted to the tran- 
sit of the light canoe, had opened a pathway between hostile tribes, in their 
perpetual missions of reciprocal slaughter and rapine. The Indian, doubt- 
less, in reference to this fact, gave to the lake the striking and appropriate 
name, Caniadere- Guarante, that is, the lake that is the gate of the country. 
And again, for a period of over two centuries from the date of its discovery 
by Champlain, its character and position remained unchanged. Its waters 
were the portals of alien and often hostile nations ; along its highway the 
stealthy march of murderous bands have passed, to be precipitated upon the 
slumbering settlements of the foe ; fleets of canoes and batteaux in summer 
have glided over its pure waters on errands of blood and rapine ; and in win- 
ter its crystal pavement afforded an easy pathway to the invader, or if deep 
snows rested upon the ice, the snow-shoe left scarcely an impress to betray 
his transit. By this track the French, with their savage associates, traversed 
the lake, and penetrating the gorges of the Green Mountains, devastated, 
amid the storms and snows of winter, the fairest villages of New England. 
Later on, vast armies, clothed in the pomp and panoply of modern warfare, 
have gathered on its sequestered shores, or glided over its silent waters, where

now all is a scene of thrift and prosperity — a scene of rare beauty and great 
interest, that each season calls hundreds of tourists from this and foreign 
lands to gratify their love for the beautiful, and to revel amid its gems of 
historical lore. And amid these scenes of historic renown, none, perhaps, 
possesses an interest equal to that attached to Grand Isle county. Its shores 
were the first in the State to be visited by a white man, within its limits was 
commenced the first settlement, and upon its soil rested the first military for- 
tification erected in what is now the proud State of Vermont. But these 
honors, by some strange chance, have for many years been assigned to other 
localities. 

GEOLOGICAL. 

Geologically, there is nothing in Grand Isle to distinguish it from other 
counties of the State. The principal rocks are of the Black river limestone, 
Trenton limestone., Utica slate and Hudson river slate formations. The rocks 
of the Black river group underlie the western portions of South Hero, Grand 
Isle, and Isle La Motte, and are generally known as Isle La Motte marble. It 
is a black, compact, finely granular marble, a pure carbonate of lime, and a 
very handsome and valuable stone. It also contains many fossils. When 
sawed, it makes an excellent marble for floor tiling, and specimens of it may 
be seen in the public edifices and costly mansions of the principal cities of 
the Union. 

A vein of Trenton limestone lies parallel with and adjacent to the Black 
river ledge, extending the whole length of the county, having a mean width 
of about one mile. One very soon learns to distinguish this rock from all 
others in Vermont, by its common characters of black schistose layers, asso- 
ciated with slaty seams of limestone and occasionally argillaceous matter. 
The rock occupies the middle and northwestern parts of South Hero, reach- 
ing entirely across the island at one place, to Keeler's Bay ; but the shape of 
the island is such that it runs off to the northwestern part, where it sinks be- 
neath the lake to rise again in Isle La Motte. In Grand Isle, the best de- 
velopment of the Trenton formation in Vermont appears. Prof. Adams, in 
his manuscript notes of the geology of Vermont, thinks that the thickness of 
the rock here is as much as 500 feet. The strata are thick-bedded, and filled 
with beautifully developed trilobites, orthocerata, shells, fucoids, etc. The 
principal mineral found in the rock is a large vein of milk-white calcite, ten 
feet wide, in South Hero. 

A large bed of Utica slate comes next in order, underlying, except a small 
portion of the extreme eastern part, the residue of the county. This rock is 
a continuation of the calcareous shales of the Hudson river group downwards, 
until they meet the slaty limestone of the Trenton limestone. The common 
variety greatly resembles the shales of the Trenton limestone, differing from 
them principally by being firmer, and exhibiting a double system of joints, 
which are often filled with seams and veins of calcite. These veins consti- 
tute a marked feature of this rock. There are three varieties of them, — the 



GRAND ISLE COUNTY. 57 



large veins, or dikes ; the smaller ones, that twist and branch in every direc- 
tion, frequently like the branches of a tree ; and thirdly, small veins that oc- 
cupy the cleavage seams, and are parallel to one another over large areas. 
This rock is particularly conspicuous on the southeast and southwest shores 
of Alburgh, where ledges of it occur, and also in the center of the town near 
the railroad. Upon the east side of Isle La Motte, two ledges of the slate 
appear, in contact with the Black river and Trenton limestone. The mineral 
contents are mostly calcite and nodules of pyrites. Several mineral springs 
occur in the formation, the principal ones being in Alburgh and South Hero. 
The water is strongly impregnated with sulphurated hydrogen, and they are 
visited by many invalids with beneficial results. It is probable that the sul- 
phur arises from the decomposition of the nodular pyrites common in the slate. 
The numerous drift scratches, moraines, etc , found throughout the county 
confirms the supposition that it was once the bed of an ocean. Larger de- 
posits of marine shells also are interspersed with the soil in different locali- 
ties, and many fossil remains have been exhumed, especially in North Hero 
and Isle La Motte. 

STAPLE PRODUCTIONS. 

The material resources of the county are not large, though sufficiently so 
to entitle it to rank as not the least respectable and prosperous, though the 
smallest of the fourteen counties in the State. A great portion of the lands 
are exceedingly fertile, and yield nearly all of the different kinds of grains, 
fruits, and vegetables common to this latitude. The value and productive- 
ness of the soil averages nearly the same in all parts of the county, though 
the town of North Hero. — which contains the greatest proportion of arable 
land according to its area, — may be considered the most productive. The 
constituent properties of the soil are clay, loam and marl, with a substratum of 
coarse gravel and heavy clay, the latter predominating. A considerable pro- 
portion of the old pasture lands, however, begin to exhibit signs of impaired 
fertility. Both the soil and climate render the county admirably adapted to 
fruit culture, apples, plums, pears, cherries and grapes being produced at a 
fair profit. Dairying and stock-raising interests also occupy a large amount 
of attention, there being owned throughout the county some excellent herds 
of blooded cattle, and a number of flocks of Spanish Merino sheep. A better 
idea of the staple productions may be derived, perhaps, from the following 
statistics, taken from the United States census reports of 1870. During that 
year there were 36,872 acres of improved land in the county, while the 
farms were valued at $2,579,795.00, and produced 18,774 bushels of wheat, 
205 bushels of rye, 21,073 bushels of Indian corn, 105,431 bushels of oats, 
7,454 bushels of barley, and 26,876 bushels of buckwheat. There were 
owned throughout the county 1,285 horses, 1,457 milch cows, 12 working 
oxen. 16,087 sheep, and 545 swine. From the milk of the cows were manu- 
factured 160,653 pounds of butter and 11,388 pounds of cheese, while the 
sheep yielded 83,838 pounds of wool.

MANUFACTURES. 

Owing to the absence of streams suitable for furnishing water-power, and 
the comparative scarcity of native fuel, manufacturing has never been con- 
ducted to any great extent. The census returns of 1870, show the county 
to have had twelve manufacturing establishments, operated by two water- 
wheels, employing thirty-eight hands. There were $7,185.00 invested in 
these enterprises, while the entire product for the year was valued at $22,- 
417.00. 

COURTS AND COUNTY BUILDINGS. 

The county seat is located at North Hero, where the supreme court meets 
on the third Tuesday in January, and county court on the last Tuesday in 
August, and the last but one in February. North Hero was appointed as 
the shire town of the county by an act of .the legislature passed in 1803, and 
from that time until 1825, the courts were held in the only hotel ever built 
in the town, erected during that year by Jed. P. Ladd. It had for its site a 
position near the center of the town, overlooking the waters of a beautiful 
bay, and for twenty-two years a portion of it was made use of for judicial 
purposes, it being provided with a court-room and jail. The old building 
was torn down in 1857. Those who saw it daily while standing, remember 
it as a large, square, time-browned edifice, constructed after the ancient 
regime, and from garret to cellar looking rather shadowy and mysterious. 
These impressions were, in a measure, due to the various uses which it had 
served, having answered, in its time, as a court-house, church, and tavern, a 
singular trio to associate together. The court-room was 25 by 50 feet, and 
and also served as a ball-room. It contained a very convenient desk for the 
judges, and was supplied with fixed benches, surrounding the room. The 
jail was located in the upper story, and furnished with a ponderous oak door, 
barred and bolted in the most substantial manner. 

The erection of the present court-house was commenced in 1824, and 
completed in 1825. It is a solid, substantial structure, 40 by 50 feet, and 
two stories in height, built of Isle La Motte marble. The first story contains 
apartments for the family of the jailor, and a "debtor's-room " and dungeon, 
while the second story contains the court and jury rooms. The dungeon, or 
the "cell" as it is known, is constructed of blocks of marble three feet 
square, doweled together with stone of proper size. It has had but few 
inmates since its erection, however. The town of North Hero paid $500.00 
towards the construction of the building for the privilege of using the court- 
room as a place of worship. 

The first session of the county court was held in the old tavern, on the 
first Monday of March, 1806, when Asa Lyon presided as chief judge ; Nathan 
Hutchins and Alexander Scott, assistant judges; with Alpheus Hall, county 
clerk; Amos Morrill, sheriff; Daniel Webb, high bailiff; and Philo Berry, 
State's attorney. The first cause tried was an action on a note, brought by 
John Martin against Edmund Barnes. 



GRAND ISLE COUNTY. 59 



The first important criminal case tried was that of Isaac Stevens, for theft, 
at the March term, 1808, before Judge Benjamin Adams. Solomon Morgan, 
State's attorney, appeared for the prosecution, and Hon. C. P. Van Ness, for 
the defense. The following named persons were impanelled as jurors ; Nathan 
Douglass, Thaddeus Landon, Joseph Boardman, Samuel Davison, Kimball 
Kinney, John Thomas, Peter Minkler, Daniel Hoag, Wyman Chamberlain, 
Jacob Mott, John Borden, and Joseph Hazen. After a verdict of " guilty " 
had been rendered by the jury, the judge addressed the prisoner, and pro- 
nounced sentence as follows : — 

" You, Isaac Stevens, are brought before this court for feloniously taking, 
stealing and carrying away three yards of blue broad-cloth, and forty dollars 
in silver, the just property of James Gillert. You have pleaded " not guilty" 
of the crime ; you have shown no signs of repentance, but have behaved with 
a show of arrogance. The court notwithstanding, have feelings for you as 
men, and sincerely lament your deplorable condition ; but as ministers of the 
law, they cannot flinch from their duty. 

"Therefore, the court give judgment and pronounce sentence, that you, 
Isaac Stevens, shall, between the hours of twelve o'clock, noon, and two 
o'clock in the afternoon of the 12th day of March, A. D., 1808, receive twenty 
stripes on the naked body, and pay forty-five dollars as treble damages to the 
party agrieved ; pay costs of prosecution, and stand committed until judg- 
ment be complied with." 

This sentence was duly carried into effect, on the date aforementioned, 
when a large crowd of people congregated to witness its execution. Stevens was 
brought down from the jail, bound to one of the posts supporting the shed, and 
received the twenty stripes with apparent indifference. 

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS. 

Grand Isle county, though the best in the State in some respects, so far as 
natural resources go, has suffered one great inconvenience, which her inhabi- 
tants have had to contend with from the first, arising from the fact of being 
cut off by the waters of Lake Champlain from the rest of the State. Grand 
Isle, containing the towns of South Hero and Grand Isle, was the first to 
remedy this, by building what is known as Sand-bar bridge. This work was 
completed in 1850, the cost being $18,000.00, which was borne by the peo- 
ple of the island, aided by private subscriptions from citizens of Burlington. 
Now another island has lately been connected with the mainland — Isle La 
Motte. This bridge extends from the northern end of the island across to 
Alburgh, which is connected naturally with the mainland, from which it pro- 
jects its " tongue " down into the lake, between Isle La Motte and North 
Hero. This bridge, finished in August, 1882, was built by Messrs. Adgate & 
Weston, of Keeseville, and is 2,000 feet long. It is composed entirely of 
stone filling, with the exception of the draw, thirty-one feet wide, which is 800 
feet from the Alburgh shore, and r, 169 feet from the Isle La Motte shore. The 
" fill " is fourteen feet wide on the surface, which is well up above high-water 
mark, the sides sloping at an angle of forty-five degrees to the bed of the 



6o GRAND ISLE COUNTY. 



lake. The water under the draw is sixteen feet deep at low water, and the 
draw itself is simply a movable track fifty-two feet long, which slides back 
easily upon the line of the bridge by means of a rack and pinion, being 
strongly trussed, and weighted at the shore end, so as to prevent tilting down- 
wards of the end as it leaves its supporting pier on being slid back. These 
piers at either side of the channel are of solid masonry, thirty-two feet square. 
The natural channel here is only 250 feet wide, the water for that distance 
having a depth of from ten to sixteen feet, while the rest of the way across 
the water is quite shallow. Along the shore of Isle La Motte and through 
the channel, the bottom is rocky, but from the channel to the Alburgh shore 
there is a mud bottom. The cost of the bridge was $15,000.00, of which 
the State furnished $7,000.00, the town of Isle La Motte paying the balance. 
The building of the Vermont and Canada railroad (see page 30) across 
the town of Alburgh, was an important era in the history of the county, as it 
afforded a more convenient and ready means of communication with market 
towns, and its value to the county will be much enhanced by the building of 
this bridge. This system of communication with the outside world will prob- 
ably prevent much loss of life and property through the ice and from ferries, 
which has been going on to a greater or less extent ever since the settlement 
of the county. It will doubtless not be long before the other island, North 
Hero, will be connected by bridge to the mainland. 

ABORIGINAL OCCUPANCY. 

A branch of the Abenaquis tribe of Indians, called the Zoquageers, were 
the aboriginal occupants of this section, and had a village in the present town 
of Alburgh. Another subdivision of the Abenaquis, called the Loups, or 
Wolf-tribe, are supposed to have resided at the sand-bar in South Hero, and 
departed from that place many years prior to the commencement of any 
settlement by the whites ; but this supposition is founded upon uncertain 
tradition. There were Indians at the sand-bar, but they may have been a 
portion of the same tribe that occupied the town of Alburgh. We have no 
evidence to show that other parts of the county were inhabited by the aborig- 
ines; and there are but few traces of them remaining in tbe localities 
before named. The territory occupied by the Abenaquis was called, on the old- 
est maps, the country of the Irocoisa, or Iroquois, whom, tradition affirms, were 
primitive dwellers on the lands embraced within these limits ; but it is well 
known that the Iroquois never had a permanent residence in this county. 
During the progress of the old French and English colonial wars, a branch of 
the Iroquois, known by their aboriginal name as No-tsi-io-ne, invaded the 
Abenaquis territory, and after many a stern conflict, the Zoquageers were 
driven off, thus virtually terminating the Indian occupation of this locality. 

WHEN FIRST SETTLED BY THE WHITES. 

It has long been claimed by most local historians that the first occupation 
of the State by civilized people was in 1690, when Capt. Jacobus De Narm, 



GRAND ISLE COUNTY. 6 1 



from Albany, erected a small stone fort at Chimney Point, in Addison county. 
This, however, is erroneous. Fifty-five years after the discovery of the lake 
by Cham plain, in 1664, M. De Tracy, Governor of the French possessions 
in America, entered upon the work of erecting a line of fortifications from 
the mouth of the Sorel river into Lake Champlain. The first year he erected 
three forts upon the river, and the next spring, 1665, he ordered Capt. De 
La Motte to proceed up the lake and erect another fortress upon an island 
which he designated. It was completed the same year and named Fort St. 
Anne, and afterwards called Fort La Motte, from the name of its builder, and 
which in the end gave the name to the island on which it stood. In 1666, 
an important expedition under De Tracy was fitted out, and proceeded from 
this place against the Mohawk Indians. The fort faced north and west at a 
point commanding the passage of the lake, where portions of its ruins are 
still discernable. Settlements were also commenced in Alburgh as early as 
1 731, and again in 1741. The settlement of Fort La Motte precedes that 
of any other in the State by nearly half a century, and was sustained by the 
French, and the English after them, together with Alburgh and North Hero, 
where were located block-houses, with some interruptions, nearly up to the 
year 1800. 

The first permanent settlement of the county, however, was commenced 
in Alburgh, by a party of French emigrants from St. Johns. For accounts of 
the settlements made subsequent to this, together with records of their growth, 
etc., we refer the reader to the sketches of the several towns, found on other 
pages. 

Numerous grants of land lying within the present limits of the county, 
were made by the French, causing much trouble relative to titles in after 
years. The titles to the lands embraced in the town of Alburgh, were for 
many years a fruitful source of controversy. Sir George Young claimed the 
territory as a grant from the Duke of York, but his title was never recog- 
nized. The governor of Canada subsequently granted the lands to Henry 
Caldwell, of Quebec, from whom the early settlers mainly derived their titles ; 
and, prior to 1787, the township was called Caldwell's Upper Manor. In 
1 781, the legislature of Vermont granted the township to Ira Allen and 
others ; but their attempts to take possession of the lands were legally re- 
sisted by the settlers, who, after several years of litigation, secured complete 
triumph. North Hero, called by the French Isle Lo?igue, was granted by the 
governor of Canada, to M. Contrecour, in 1734, with the condition that a 
settlement should be established within a period of five years, or the grant 
thereby become invalidated ; and as it appears not to have been settled within 
the prescribed time, M. Contrecour forfeited his claim to the island. Isle 
LaMotte, together with the town of Chazy, N. Y., was granted by the French 
to Maj. Pean, of Quebec, about the year 1733; but it was never occupied 
by him, nor by any other persons claiming proprietorship under him. The 
south Island does not appear to have been included among the French and 



62 GRAND ISLE COUNTY. 



English grants, and no disposition seems to have been made of it until char- 
tered to Ethan Allen and others, in 1779. Prior to this time, the governor 
and legislature of Vermont received numerous applications from private indi- 
viduals, for grants of the islands, but they preferred to donate them to such 
persons as had performed honorable service in the Revolution. 

Here we leave our sketch of the county, only to be taken up in connection 
with the town chapters. Many of the Revolutionary heroes settled within its 
limits, some of whom bore honorable part in the war of 181 2. But the 
meagre space we are at liberty to devote to the record of those interesting 
themes, will be found incorporated with the sketches under these heads in the 
Franklin county chapter. The roster of officers who went from this county, 
and served in the war of the Rebellion, will also be found incorporated with 
that county. 




GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 



FRANKLIN COUNTY. 

?;7V:VERY'S GORE is a rough, mountainous tract of land containing an 
*^fer area of about 9,723 acres, having Montgomery on the north, Bakers- 
W field on the west, Belvidere in Lamoille county on the south, and Lowell 
in Orleans county on the east. A number of small tracts of land were formerly 
granted to Samuel Avery, by the above name, but all except this one have 
been annexed to other townships. This was granted October 29, 1791. 
The soil is mostly owned by parties in New York, and it contains but few in- 
habitants. Settlements have been made in the northwestern portion, along 
the Bakersfield line, by a few families, and nearly as many in the northern 
part, and along a road which has been opened through, from Montgomery to 
Belvidere. Ebenezer Wellman was the first settler, having moved across the 
line from Montgomery, about the year 1828. The land is not of a quality 
to attract settlers, and those who have gone in are mostly poor, and sustain 
no schools or mechanics among them. The Gore is legally under the juris- 
diction of the town of Montgomery. 



fpiiAKERSFIELD, an irregularly outlined town, lies in the southeastern 
e||p part of the county, in 44 47' north latitude, and longitude 4 9' east 
W from Washington,* bounded north byEnosburgh, east by Avery's Gore, 
and Waterville in Lamoille county, south by Fletcher, and west by Fairfield. 
The original of this tract was granted by the State, February 27, 1787, and 
chartered January 25, 1791, to Luke Knowlton, under the name of Knowl- 
ton's Gore, containing 10,000 acres. Knowlton retained the territory about 
one month, then sold it to Joseph Baker, the first settler, and in whose honor 
the town was finally named, for ^500, the deed being given February 21, 
1791. On the 25th of the following October, this tract, togetherwith Smith- 
field and Fairfield, were formed into two towns, Fairfield and Bakersfield. 
Bakersfield remained thus until October 31, 1798, when Knight's Gore was 
annexed to it, and a part set off to Enosburgh, and, finally, October 26, 1799, 
a part of Coit's Gore was annexed to Bakersfield, so that it contained about 
27,000 acres. Some changes in boundary have taken place since, however. 

* As the whole county lies in north latitude, with longitude reckoned east from Wash- 
ington, the terms north and east will hereafter be omitted. 



64 TOWN OF BAKERSFIELD. 



About 3,000 acres have been annexed to Waterville, and the boundary 
between itself and Enosburgh has been straightened, so that the town now 
contains only about 24,000 acres. 

In surface, Bakersfield is broken into serrated hills, though not mountain- 
ous, and has a general altitude of about five hundred feet above the ocean, 
the highest elevation being bald mountain, situated in the southeastern part 
of the town, from which an extensive view of wild, picturesque scenery may 
be obtained. The mountain has an elevation of about 1,000 feet. The soil 
is generally warm and productive, sustaining large crops of grass and grain, 
its timber being principally hard wood. The territory in watered by several 
small streams, tributaries of the Missisquoi river ; Black creek, flowing across 
the southern part of the town from east to west, being the largest, and none 
of them containing any extensive mill sites. A small pond, called Trout Lake, 
is situated in the southeastern part of the town. 

Geologically, the formation of the town is of the rock known as talcose 
schist, and does not materially differ from others overlying that rock. There 
are two beds of limestone appearing in the northeastern, and a bed of soap- 
stone in the eastern part. Several mineral springs, and a small cave, known 
as Smugglers' Cave, situated in the southeastern part, are the only natural 
curiosities of the township. 

In 1880, Bakersfield had a population of 1,248, was divided into fourteen 
school districts and contained fourteen common schools, employing four male 
and twenty-three female teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary of 
$1,176.24. There were 308 pupils attending common school, while the en- 
tire cost of the schools for the year ending October 31st., was $1,300.86. J. 
L. Forman was superintendent of schools. 

Bakersfield, a post village, is very pleasantly located near the central part 
of the town, with its main street extending nearly in a north and south direc- 
tion. It contains three churches, (Cong., Meth., and Roman Cath.,) two 
hotels, six stores, Brigham academy, a steam mill, meat market, shoe-shop, 
two livery stables, two blacksmith shops, two carriage shops, one cabinet 
maker's shop, a hose company, and the usual complement of dressmaker 
and milliner shops, etc. It has among its professional men three lawyers, 
two doctors, and one dentist. The village has, since 1840, when Bakersfield 
academy was established, been noted for its educational facilities, sustaining 
two fine academies most of the time. This reputation is still maintained by 
Brigham academy, founded in 1877, by Peter B. Brigham, of Boston, he hav- 
ing given the town $30,000.00 at that time as a permanent fund to be used 
for school purposes. The academy building, whose location is unsurpassed 
for beauty and healthfulness, together with the land upon which it stands, 
was donated by Mrs. Sarah B. Jacobs, Mrs. S. Jane Kendall, Mrs. Roxana 
B. Hankinson, and Mrs. Jonathan Northrup. The school was opened in 
September, 1879, since which time its primary object has been to provide an 
opportunity for the young people of the town to procure a liberal education, 



TOWN OF BAKERSFIELD. 65 



though it solicits the patronage of a limited number of non-residents, as two 
hundred pupils can be accommodated. The course of study is the usual En- 
glish and scientific, and college preparatory. The first principal of the 
academy was Mr. F. L. Irish, but since 1880, it has been very ably conducted 
by the present principal, Mr. Otis S. Johnson. 

Charles B. Brown's saw and grist-mill, located on road 19, is operated by 
water-power, and does custom work. The grist-mill has the capacity for 
grinding one hundred bushels of grain per day, while the saw-mill turns out 
about 200,000 feet of lumber annually. 

Danford Ayers' saw and grist-mill, located in the northeastern part of the 
town, on road 14, does custom sawing, and grinding of feed. The saw-mill 
is furnished with a circular saw, and is capable of cutting 5,000 feet of lum- 
ber daily. 

John Roomy's saw-mill, located in the southern part of the town, on road 
42, is supplied with a circular saw and planing machinery, and has the capac- 
ity for sawing 500.000 feet of lumber annually. 

Rensselaer Tripper's tannery, located on road 26, manufactures uppers and 
harness leather, making about $1,200.00 worth annually. 

The town poor-farm, located in the northern part of the township, contains 
160 acres, owned by this town in union with Montgomery, Richford and 
Fletcher, with Amos W. Potter, superintendent. The buildings are com- 
modious, and kept scrupulously clean, while everything possible is done to 
make a pleasant home for the indigent ones, fifteen of whom are now har- 
bored there. 

As previously intimated, Joseph Baker, after whom the town was named, 
was the first settler. The precise time of his settlement^ is not known, 
though it was during the year 1789-90. He was joined, in 1 791, by his son- 
in-law, Stephen Maynard, and Jonas Brigham, with their families, after which 
no settlers arrived until 1794, when Jeremiah Pratt, Luke Potter, and Jona- 
than Farnsworth located in the town. In the winter of 1796, Thomas Pot- 
ter, from Brookfield, Mass., took up his residence here, making the fourteenth 
family to arrive, the whole population being then^the families of the follow- 
ing named gentlemen : Joseph Baker, Jonas Brigham, Stephen Maynard, 
Jeremiah Pratt, Jonathan Farnsworth, Levi Brown, Samuel Cochrane, Solo- 
mon Davis, Aaron Smith, Elisha Boyce, Joshua Barnes, Edward Baker and 
Jacob Huntley. In 1800, the population had increased to 222, forty new 
families having moved into the town during that year. 

The warning for the first town-meeting, dated at Cambridge, March 18, 
1795, read as follows : — 

" Whereas, there have a number of the inhabitants of the town of Bakers- 
field made application to us as the law directs, to warn the Town Meeting ; 
these are therefore to warn the inhabitants of the town of Bakersfield, that 
are qualified to vote, to meet at the dwelling house of Joseph Baker, Esq., in 
Bakersfield, on Monday, of instant March, at ten o'clock in the forenoon, 
for the purpose of choosing town officers, as the law directs, and to do 
any other business proper on said day." 
5 



66 TOWN OF BAKERSFIELD. 

Pursuant to this warning, the meeting was held on the 30th day of March, 
when the following officers were elected : Stephen Maynard, town clerk ; 
Jonas Brigham, Joseph Baker, and Stephen Maynard selectmen ; Amos Cut- 
ler, constable; and Jeremiah Pratt, hayward. At the first freemen's meet- 
ing, held September 16, 1796, the records show that there were nineteen 
votes cast for Thomas Chittenden for governor, and one for Isaac Tichenor. 
Jonas Brigham was elected a representative to the general assembly, an office 
he held for seventeen years. He was also the first justice of the peace, 
chosen in 1795, serving in that capacity twenty-six years. 

Soon after Mr. Brown took up his residence here, a small party of Indians 
camped during the winter in the swamp back of the present Methodist par- 
sonage, and during their stay a papoose was born, the first child known to 
have been born in the township. The first white child born here was Betsey, 
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Maynard, January 13, 1793. She was a grand- 
daughter of Mr. Baker, in honor of which he gave her fifty acres of land. 
She became the wife of Hon. Austin Fuller. The first male child born was 
Cheney, son of Jonas Brigham, April 22, 1793. The first marriage was that 
of John Maynard to Elizabeth Knowles, in 1799. The first death was that of 
Isaac F. Farnsworth, August 17, 1798. The second was that of Elisha P. 
Pratt, November 20, 1798, aged eleven years and three months. Elder 
Joseph Call, a Baptist minister, preached his funeral sermon, the first sermon 
preached in the town. The first framed house was built by Jeremiah Pratt, 
in 1797 or '98. The first grist and saw-mill was built in 1794, by Elisha 
Boyce, upon the site now occupied by Charles B. Brown's mill. The first 
carding machine was set up by Carpenter & Jones, near the tannery. The 
first tannery was built by Joseph Baker, in 1796. The first hotel was kept 
by Samuel Cochran, in the southern part of the town. Stephen Maynard 
kept the first hotel at the center of the town. The first physicians were Ebe- 
nezer Williams, Thomas Lassel, and Amos Town. Col. S. Hazeltine kept 
the first store. The first resident lawyer was Eben Barlow. John Maynard 
was the first postmaster. The first militia company was formed in 1802, 
under Capt. Wilkinson. The first artillery company in 1806, under Capt. 
Start. The first school in town was taught by Foster Paige, in a log building 
a mile or so north of the present village, about the year 1797. 

Jonas Brigham was born in 1748, and came to this town, from North 
Brookfield, Mass., in the spring of 1791, locating in the northern part, where 
Walter Cutting now resides. Here he erected a log house which he occupied 
until able to build a more pretentious dwelling, the one now occupied by 
Mr. Cutting. He was the first representative of the town, elected in 1796. 
The next year the town by vote resolved not to elect a representative, but in 
1798, he was returned by a unanimous vote, retaining the office for the next 
sixteen consecutive years. He also held the office of justice of the peace a 
term of years. His death occurred December 1, 1826, in kis seventy-eighth 
year. His children were Michael, Eli, Hannah, Sally, Patty, Jonas, Luther,

Asa, Betsey, and Cheney, none of whom are living. His representatives in 
the town now are ten grandchildren, with their families. 

Josiah Fay Brigham, the sixth child of Uriah and Elizabeth (Fay) Brigham 
was born in Bakersfield, October n, 1801, and died here August 28, 1878. 
Mr. Brigham was a man of wide reading, of independent thought, of pure 
morals, of upright character, kind to his neighbors, and gentle to his family. 
Being a Democrat in politics, he was on the unpopular side in the Green 
Mountain State, which has always been Whig or Republican ; yet at three 
different times (1857, 1869, 1876,) he was elected to the State legislature, 
and frequently filled the office of selectman. The last time he was elected 
to the legislature, Deacon Asa Dean, one of the oldest citizens of the town, 
and a life-long Whig and Republican, braved the inclemency of the weather, 
and came out to vote for him, saying that he knew he was voting for an 
honest man. On relating this fact to a friend in Montpelier, Mr. Brigham 
said, with that frankness and simplicity so characteristic of him, that he 
regarded Deacon Dean's remark as one of the most flattering compliments 
he had ever received. In speaking of his death, a correspondent to the 
Montpelier Argus and Patriot made the following tribute to his memory : — 

" My acquaintance with Mr. Brigham began thirty years ago, when I was a 
student at Bakersfield academy. He was then an influential citizen and a 
substantial farmer, in the very prime of life, and impressed me as a gentle- 
man of strong points of character, of more than ordinary intelligence, and of 
positive opinions. The impressions then made have been strengthened as 
we have occasionally met since. For candor and frankness in the expression 
of his opinions, which on some subjects were peculiar to himself, and for 
dignity of manner and courtly bearing, he was rarely excelled. * * * He 
enjoyed the esteem of his fellow townsmen to a high degree, and exerted an 
important influence upon all public affairs. He was a Democrat throughout 
his long life. Having been schooled and practised in the customs and ways 
of days long gone by, he naturally looked with distrust and suspicion on the 
extravagances and pretences of the present day. A great void has been 
created by his death, which it would be difficult to fill. To pay a simple 
ribute of respect to his memory is the object of these lines." 

Simeon Maynard and Deacon John Perkins came to Bakersfield from 
Massachusetts, at an early day in the history of the town, making their way 
through the deep snow on a sled drawn by two yoke of oxen. Mr. Maynard 
had come on the year previous, built a log house, cleared some land, and 
planted and harvested crops, which he stored away to await the coming of his 
family, which consisted of a wife and one child. Here he resided on road 17, 
upon the farm now owned by his son, Harrison, until his death, at the age of 
eighty years. He was held in high esteem by his townsmen, who often chose 
him to fill offices of trust. Of his family of ten children, five are yet living, Cal- 
vin and James in this town, Harrison in St. Albans, and Foradice and Mari- 
ette in Massachusetts. 

Willis Ross, from Sterling, Mass., came to this town at an early day, locat- 
ing in the northeastern part. The farm upon which he settled has since been 
divided among several owners, the major portion being now the property of

Patrick Brady. Mr. Ross was early promoted to the office of captain of militia, 
and served his company faithfully. He died in 1837, aged sixty years. He 
was the father of eleven children, eight of whom are now living, one, Horace, 
in this town. 

William Giddings. from Massachusetts, came to Bakersfield, in company 
with Capt. Daniel M. Stearns and Thomas Childs, making their way through 
the forest by means of two teams of horses and two yoke of oxen, occu- 
pying four weeks on the journey. Mr. Giddings was one of the first pioneers 
in the eastern part of the town, that portion having been settled later than 
other parts, owing to its heavy growth of then unvaluable hemlock timber. 
He erected a blacksmith shop soon after his settlement, and followed that 
occupation, together with farming, until his death, at an advanced age. The 
old homestead is now owned by his grandson, Joseph Giddings. Two others 
of his grandchildren are residents of the town, Simeon on road 6, and William 
H., a practicing physician, located at the village. 

Benjamin Doane, from North Brookfield, Mass., was an early settler in the 
eastern part of the town. He remained there but a short time, however, 
when he removed to the farm now occupied by his son, Benjamin. He died 
in 1855, aged seventy-four years. Of his family of ten children three only 
are now living. 

Thomas Potter, born at North Brookfield, Mass., November 16, 1757, 
started for this town, with his family, on the 29th of February, 1796. He 
made his way with an ox team, being twenty-one and one-half days on the 
road. Mr. Potter became one of the most esteemed men of the town and 
died at the advanced age of eighty-eight years. Mrs. Potter, a most excellent 
lady, died at the great age of ninety-two years. They had a family of eleven 
children. Their son, Silas, was eight years of age when he came here with 
his parents. He married Dolly Hunter, and became one of the most promi- 
nent and public-spirited men of the town, and served his people as selectman 
for a period of twenty-four years, besides other important town offices, for all 
of which he received but four dollars in recompense, a fact fully illustrating 
his unselfishness. He had a family of six children by his first wife, who 
died in 1847, and one son by his second wife, Laura Lock. He lived to the 
good old age of eighty-five years, retaining his mental faculties wonderfully 
well to the last. His wife survived him about two years. 

Thomas Ayers, born in Brookfield, Mass., in 1768, removed with his fam- 
ily to this town in 1799, locating in the northern part, near road 8. He after- 
wards removed to a place near the present town poor-farm. Mr. Ayers had 
a large family of children, and many of his descendants now reside in the town. 
He built a saw-mill on the site now occupied by Danford Ayers's mill, soon 
after his arrival here, which proved a great accommodation to his neighbors. 

Moses Wheelock, from Westmoreland, came to Bakersfield about the year 
1800. He was a carpenter and joiner by trade, and his first job after coming 
here was to build a house for Dea. Pratt, the same now occupied by Dr. Cutler,

at the village. At this time Mr. Wheelock and his wife boarded with Mr. 
Pratt, where they made it their home for two or three years, then removed to 
the farm where their son, Hiram K., now resides. Mr. Wheelock died at the 
age of eighty-five years, while his wife attained the unusual age of ninety- 
seven years. They were the parents of six children, two of whom, Hiram 
K. and Emerson, now reside in the town. 

Ephraim Maynard, from Oakham, Mass., came here about the year 1800, 
and located on road 21, where he continued to reside the remainder of his 
long life, being eighty-five years of age when he died. Of his large family of 
fifteen children, only four are now living. 

Dr. Ebenezer Williams, born at Plainfield, N. H., in 1768, came to this 
town in 1801, and located upon the farm now known as the Wheelock place. 
He subsequently located upon the farm owned by John J. Hill, where he 
died, in 1848. He had a family of six children, the eldest of whom, George 
W., married Emily A. Leach and reared a family of four children. George 
W. occupied the old homestead until 1867, when he sold it and removed to the 
village, where he died in 1877. He was the father of four children. His eldest 
son, MerrittB., was captain of Co. G, 13th Regt., and died from wounds received 
at Gettysburgh. His son, Wesley C, was also a soldier during the late war, 
and now resides at Claremont, N. H. Sarah E. (Mrs. J. J. Hill) resides on 
the old homestead, her sister, Effie, residing with her. David K., the second 
son of Dr. Williams, was a Congregationalist minister. He obtained his edu- 
cation through hard labor and strict economy, graduating from the theological 
school at Bangor, Me. 

Thomas Tupper, from Barnard, Vt., came to this town in 1801, and was 
the first settler on the farm now owned by Clinton Cross. He subsequently 
removed to the farm now the property of his son, Jackson Tupper, where he 
died, aged eighty-nine years. He was a volunteer captain of artillery during 
the war of 181 2, and was present at the battle of Plattsburgh, though he took 
no part in the engagement. Mr. Tupper reared a family of eleven children, 
four of whom, Rensselaer, Solon, Sarah, and Jackson, now reside in the 
town. 

Elisha Parker, born at Hardwick, Mass., in 1787, came to Bakersfield in 
1802, and located on road 40, upon the farm now occupied by his daughter, 
Mrs. M. Converse. 

Joseph Park, from Paxton, Mass., came here in 1804, and located in the 
southern part of the town, upon the farm now owned by J. W. Stone. 

Robert Scott came to Bakersfield, from Townsend, Vt., in 1804, and set- 
tled upon the farm now owned by his grandson, Hamlet H. Scott. Mr. Scott 
was a sturdy, hard-working man, and died at the age of sixty-nine years. His 
son, Thomas W., succeeded him to the homestead. 

Daniel Spofford, from Temple, N. H., came to this town about the year 
1810, and built a small log cabin in the wilderness, which lie occupied, with 
his family, until lumber became more plentiful, when he built a more com- 



70 TOWN OF BAKERSFIELD. 



modious place, where his son, Daniel, now resides. He became interested 
in the early military affairs of the town, and held all the company offices, from 
corporal to captain. He died in 1870, aged eighty-two years, being a hale 
and hearty man up to the time of his death. 

Josiah Shattuck was born at Townsend, Vt., October 20, 1781, married 
Sarah Boutell, of Athens, Vt., and came to Bakersfield in 181 2, locating 
where Willis L. Tillotson now resides. He had a family of eleven children, 
two of whom, William B. and Jason L., reside in the town. 

Benjamin Upton came to Bakersfield about the year 181 2, and located 
upon the farm now owned by his son-in-law, Simeon Giddings. Mr. Upton 
attained the great age of one hundred years and ten months. He was the 
father of ten children, three of whom are now living. 

Peter Powers, from Temple, N. H., came to this town in 18 18, and 
located about half a mile east of the village, upon the farm now owned by 
Dr. Cutler. He lived but four years after his settlement here, and left a 
family of eight children, two of whom are yet residents of the town. 

.On January 8, 1866, the pioneers of Bakersfield, so-called, held a re-union 
at the residence of Bradley Brigham, Mr. and Mrs. Brigham being grand- 
children of Jonas Brigham and Thomas Potter. Those who were gathered 
together, about fifty in number, were children of the first settlers, and most 
of them aged over three-score years and ten. There are now but twelve of 
those who attended the party living. 

During the war of 1812, this town furnished the following named soldiers 
who were present at the battle of Plattsburgh : M. Stearns, captain, Ichabod 
Wilkinson, John Doane, Francis B. Parker, Elisha Field, Benjamin Barnes, 
Josiah Doane, Orrin Holbrook, Samuel Sumner, Moses Brown, Jr., Prentice 
Farnsworth, Theophilus Potter, Ebenezer B. Scott, Eleazer Williams, Ewel 
Rice, Jacob Huntley, Josiah Edson, Jonathan Fullington, Joseph Hazelton, 
Jonathan Fay, Andrew Farnsworth, and John Prentiss. During the late 
civil war Bakersfield furnished 123 enlisted men and three commissioned 
officers, seventeen of whom died, from natural causes or from wounds 
received in action, before their term of service expired. 

The subject of preaching and the gospel ministry early received attention. 
In the warning for the town meeting in March, 1801, was an article "to see 
if the town would grant money or a sum to be paid in produce, to hire 
preaching for three months, the coming season, or act thereon in any way 
that they shall think proper." This was not carried at this time, but was re- 
newed the following year, and in June, 1804, a meeting of the inhabitants 
qualified to vote, was called, " to see if the town will agree to give the Rev. 
Samuel Sumner an invitation to settle with them in the gospel ministry, and 
if the town will agree upon a yearly salary for his service." This meeting 
was held June 14th, at the dwelling of Col. Silas Hazeltine, with Elisha 
Parker, moderator. It was voted to " give the Rev. Samuel Sumner an in- 
vitation to settle with them in the gospel ministry, and to give the sum of 



TOWN OF BAKERSFIELD. 71 



$100.00 for a yearly salary, to be paid in good merchantable wheat, at cash 
price, the 20th day of January, annually." And it was also voted to give 
him twenty-five acres of land, at the northeast corner of lot No. 1, called the 
ministerial lot. 

The First Congregational Church of Bakersfield was organized July 4, 
181 1, by a committee of the North Western Consociation, consisting of the 
following clergyman : Revs. Wooster, Parker, Parmelee, and Truair. Its 
first members were Josiah Sheldon, Jeremiah Pratt, William Perkins, Joseph 
Ross, Ezra Allen, Daniel Stebbins, Lydia Perkins, Hannah Hazletine, Peggy 
Shoet, Elizabeth Ross and Lydia Allen. 

For a period of ten years, the church had no regular minister. The first 
that remained a year was Elderkin Boardman ; he ministered to the church 
five years, and was succeeded by Samuel Perry, one year; S. G. Penny, three 
years; Mr. Batchelder, one year; Thomas Canfield, five years; Daniel War- 
ren, seven years ; C. W. Piper, six years ; G. F. Wright, ten years ; and R. 
Hicks, five years. The present pastor is J. K. Fuller, in the sixth year of his 
ministry. The following have served as deacons of the church in the order 
of their election : Jeremiah Pratt, Amery Parker, William Perkins, Asa Dean, 
Cyrus Barnes, Joseph Allen, Andrew Farnsworth, Horace Denio, John A. 
Perkins, and James Perkins. Nearly five hundred persons have had connec- 
tion with this church, and the present membership is 119. 

The first house of worship, built of brick, was dedicated in March, 1831. 
This building waxed old, and has gone to decay. The present edifice, a brick 
structure, located on the common, near the cemetery, was erected in 1850. 
It is pleasant and commodious, and will seat five hundred persons with com- 
fort. Its original cost was about $3,000.00. The present value of chucrh 
property, including parsonage and grounds, is something over $5,000.00. 
The Sabbath school numbers eighty scholars, with an average attendance 
of sixty-four. 

The church, in 1839, took decided grounds upon the subject of temper- 
ance, and with regard to vain amusements and Sabbath observance, and, in 
fact, upon all practical questions of morality it planted itself firmly ; and 
through its able ministry, deacons, and laymen, it has not ceased to teach 
and preach all truth and duty that make up the well-developed, symmet- 
rical Christian. It has had no hobbies, and is liberal in its interpretation of 
creed and scripture ; is always the friend and promoter of common schools 
and higher education. It has performed no unimportant part in the forma- 
tion of a staple, healthy, public sentiment in favor of morals and intelligence, 
besides leading to that higher life in Christ, into which it has helped many 
from year to year. 

The Methodist Church of Bakersfield. — Methodist classes were formed, one 
in the northeastern and the other in the southern part of the town, at an 
early date, but at what time it is impossible to tell precisely. The class in 
the southwestern part was formed by Isaac Hill, from Fairfield, as early as 



72 TOWN OF BERKSHIRE. 



1806. On January 27, 1816, the town voted to divide the money arising 
from the rents of the ministerial lands between the two societies, in the pro- 
portion of two-thirds to the Congregational society, and one-third to the 
Methodist. Afterwards it was divided pro rata, according to the members 
of the respective societies, including a Freewill Baptist and a Universalist 
society. These latter have ceased to exist as separate organizations. 

St. George's Catholic Church of Bakersfield. — In the early part of the year 
1867, the Catholics of Bakersfield bought the lower part of the old academy 
building, paying therefor $600.00, and fitted it up as a chapel. The first resi- 
dent pastor was Rev. P. Savoie, in 1868, who remained two years. After his 
removal the church was supplied by pastors from Fairfield, once each month. 
In 1879, Rev. Father Brelivet, of Enosburgh, attended the church, and again 
in 1 88 1 and 1882, it was supplied by Fairfield. The church now consists 
of about forty families, is out of debt, and it is hoped by many that the whole 
building will be given to the society. 



3^ERKSHIRE, one of the northern tier of towns of the county, lies in lat. 
*fsp 44 58', and long. 4 16', bounded north by the Canada line, east by 
W Richford, south by Enosburgh, and west by Franklin. It was granted 
by the State to William Goodrich, Brazilla Hudson, Charles Dibble and their 
associates, fifty-nine in all, March 13, 1780, and chartered June 22, 1781. It 
was intended it should have the usual township area of 23,040 acres, but 
through an error in locating its boundary lines, it received some 2,000 acres 
beyond its charter limits, so that it has an area of about 25.000 acres. 

The surface of the township is broken into gentle swells and hills, rising 
from the beds of Ihe several streams, though never so abruptly as to retard 
cultivation of the soil. These grass-grown hill slopes form excellent pasture 
land and afford sustenance to large herds of cattle, so that the town is prin- 
cipally noted as a grazing section. Still.it possesses a strong, arable soil, vary- 
ing in different localities, which produces fine crops of grain. The rich allu- 
vial tracts along the streams are especially productive. Missisquoi river, the 
principal stream, flows across the southeastern corner of the town, entering 
from Richford. Pike river rises in the northern part of the town, near the 
Canada line, and after a very circuitous course south and west, turns north 
again and enters Canada. Trout brook has its source near the central part 
of the town and flows south into Enosburgh. On these streams, though there 
are others of lesser magnitude, are numerous excellent mill privileges, several 
of which are in use. The timber is mostly beech, maple, bass, elm, and hem- 
lock. The products for export, manufactured and agricultural, have an ex- 
cellent means of transportation to market in the Missisquoi railroad, which 
crosses the southeastern part of the town, with a station at East Berkshire 
village. In 1869, when the road was put through, the town was bounded t©

the amount of $26,200.00; but a few of the people were averse to this debt, 
and proposed that the bonds be bought up. A meeting was called and a 
vote taken, which resulted in their carrying their point by a majority of thirty- 
five. A committee was appointed to transact the business consisting of 
Henry Ladd, E. A. Hull, and A. A. Moore. This committee succeeded in 
making the purchase at a discount of twenty per cent., payable in three in- 
stalments, so that the town is now free from debt. 

The geological structure of Berkshire is very uniform, as nearly the whole 
rock formation is composed of talcose schist with its various component 
parts. There are, however, several small beds of granite, syenite and pro- 
toigne, lying in the northern and southern parts. A bed of steatite, or soap- 
stone, also is found east of the center. No minerals, to any extent, have 
been found, except iron. This is quite abundant, sufficient to warrant an 
almost inexhaustible supply. Upon the farm of H. Yaw, on road 8, there is 
a mine of this ore which was discovered many years ago. The ore has lately 
been tested at the iron woiks in Troy, Vt., and pronounced a superior 
quality. The mine bids fair to become quite valuable. 

In 1880, Berkshire had a population of 1,596, was divided into fourteen 
school districts, and contained fourteen common schools, employing eight 
male and sixteen female teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary of 
$1,355.34. There were 347 pupils attending common school, while the 
entire cost of the schools for the year ending October 31st, was $1,507.61, 
with S. S. Davis, superintendent. 

East Berkshire, a post village and station on the Missisquoi R. R., 
located in the southeastern part of the town on the Missisquoi river, contains 
two churches (Cong, and Epis.), one hotel, three stores, two millinery shops, 
a horse-power and churn manufactory, carriage shop, two blacksmith shops, 
an undertaker's store, and about 150 inhabitants. An extensive and destruc- 
tive fire occurred here on the 29th of April, 1868, destroying in all some 
thirty-five buildings. The fire originated in the business portion of the 
village, on the north side of the river, and burned all the stores. Among 
the heaviest losers were the present firms of W. S. Rublee & Son, and Paul 
& Moren. 

West Berkshire, a post village located in the northwestern part of the 
town on Pike river, contains one church (Meth.), one hotel, two stores, a 
tannery, sash and blind manufactory, a wheelwright and blacksmith shop, 
and undertaking and cabinet shop, and about one hundred inhabitants. 

Berkshire Center, a post village located in the central part of the town, 
contains one church (Univ.), two stores, a blacksmith shop, and about fifty 
inhabitants. 

Williatn Sa??iso?i &> Co.'s horse-power and pump manufactory, located at 
East Berkshire, was established by Mr. Samson in 1873. The firm now 
manufactures about fifteen horse-powers and 350 churns per annum, in 
addition to doing a general repair business.

men, and turns out about forty carriages and sleighs per year, also doing a 
repair business. 

Henry I. Stanley's cheese factory, located at East Berkshire, was built by 
Moore & Hulburt, in 1864, and purchased by Mr. Stanley in 1868. The 
factory has at present twenty patrons, and manufactures 80,000 pounds of 
cheese per annum. 

The West Berkshire flour ing-mill, owned by George A. Jones, was built by 
Chaffee, in 1830, It has three runs of stones, and does custom work. 

Collins Goddard' s tannery, located at West Berkshire, was formerly used 
as a starch factory, but was remodeled by Anthony Goddard, in 1875. Mr. 
Goddard tans about 1,040 hides per year. 

A. L. Goddard's tannery, located at the above village, was built by Eber 
Hill. It employs three men. 

L. A. Weld's saw-mill, also located at West Berkshire, was built by E. 
Weld in 1865. It cuts about 25,000 feet of lumber per year, and has a cider- 
mill connected with it, which manufactures 240 barrels of cider annually. 

The first settler in Berkshire was Job L. Barber, who came here with his 
wife and child in 1792, and settled on the west bank of the Missisquoi. A 
short time after this Stephen Royce moved into the town, and located about 
a mile below Barber's, and Daniel Adams commenced a settlement where the 
village of West Berkshire now is. During that winter, however, none of them 
remained here. Barber removed his family to Franklin, and the others had 
not yet brought their families into the town ; but in the spring, they all re- 
turned, so that in the latter part of April, 1793, there were three families 
residing here. During this year, and the one following it, a few additional 
settlers arrived, among whom were Capt. Phineas Heath and Capt. David 
Nutting, revolutionary officers, Jonathan Carpenter, and James Adams. 
From this time forward the settlement increased rapidly, so that in 1800, the 
town had a population of 172. 

The town was organized and the first town meeting held, March 7, 1796, 
when David Nutting was elected town clerk; Stephen Royce, James Adams, 
and Silas Pollard, selectmen ; and Timothy R. Barker, constable. Stephen 
Royce was also chosen the first representative, during this year. He had 
already been appointed justice of the peace, even as early as 1794, and con- 
tinued to hold that office for a period of eleven years. The first birth was 
that of Ehhu M. Royce, July 19, 1793. The first resident minister was Rev. 
John Barnet. The first regular physician who located here was Dr. Amherst 
Willoughby, in 1798. The first lawyer was Solomon Brigham, a man of con- 
siderable talent. 

Capt. Andrew Rublee, from Massachusetts, came to Berkshire with three 
of his brothers, John B., Frank, and Hiram A., about the year 1795. Hiram 
located on a farm just north of the present village of Berkshire Center, were

at Middlebury, under the tuition of Chester White, subsequently a clergyman 
of considerable note. Owing to the ill health and financial embarrassments 
of his father, young Royce was enabled to enter college only by the exercise 
of the greatest industry and economy. He graduated from Middlebury 
college with the class of 1807. In 1S09, he was admitted to practice as an 
attorney in the county court, having studied with his uncle, Ebenezer Mar- 
vin, Jr. In 1817, Mr. Royce removed to St. Albans, where he pursued the 
practice of his profession with diligence until the autumn of 1825, when he 
was elected a judge of the supreme court. The town of St. Albans had 
chosen him as their representative to the legislature in 1822, 1823, and 1824, 
and also as a delegate to the State constitutional convention in 1823. He 
held the office of judge during 1825 and 1826, and declining a re-election in 
the autumn of 1827, returned to the practice of his profession until the 
autumn of 1829, when he again accepted the appointment of judge, which 
he held by successive elections up to 1852, a period of twenty-three years, 
the last six of which he was chief justice of the court. In 1852, he closed 
his judicial labors by declining another election. He was elected Governor 
of the State for the years 1854 and 1855, and retired to private life in the 
latter year. Mr. Royce was never married. His death occurred in Berk- 
shire, November n, 1868. 

Dr. G. S. Goodrich, of W>st Berkshire, was born at Swanton, Vt., in 1822, 
and located where he now resides in 1856. The Doctor was educated at the 
Bakersfield academy, after which he read medicine with Dr. Fasset, of East 
Berkshire (now of St. Albans), and graduated from the Burlington medical 
college with the class of 1853. He married Jane Miner, of Richford, by whom 
he has been blessed with three children, Alice D v Ada L., and Mara- 
quetta K. 

Henry Ladd was born in Enosburgh, where his father was an early settler, 
in 1818. He came to Berkshire in 1840, locating in the eastern part of the 
town; but in 1853, he removed to West Berkshire, where he still resides. 
He is a large land owner and has held most of the town offices. 

William J. Ayer, from St. Armand, P. Q., located in the northern part of 
this town in 1840, where he is now one of the heavy land owners. 

Ethan A. Hull, born at Fairfield, Vt., July r, 1813, located in this town in 
1 86 1. He is an extensive farmer, a railroad commissioner, and has held 
most of the town offices. 

During the war of 1812, Berkshire furnished the following list of soldiers, 
who were present at the battle of Plattsburgh : Capt. Elias Babcock, Sergt. 
Scott McKinney, Amos Chadwick, Samuel White, L. Hapgood, and Daniel 
Foster. Berkshire's tribute towards quelling the late rebellion was 119 en- 
listed men ^nd two commissioned officers, twenty-two of whom gave up their 
lives in the cause.

The Calvary Episcopal Church, located at East Berkshire, was organized 
at a meeting held at the house of Dr. Titus Sampson, in March, 1818, there 
being six members. Rev. Joel Clapp was the first pastor. The first house 
of worship was a wood structure, built in 1822, which did service until 1873, 
when the present stone structure was erected. It will accommodate 200 
persons, cost $7,000.00, and is valued at $10,000.00. The society now has 
forty-seven members, with Rev. William Weston er, rector. 

The East Berkshire Congregational Church was organized with nine mem- 
bers, by the Rev. Benjamin Wooster, in 1820. The first pastor was Rev. 
Phineas Bailey. The first church building was erected in 1822, did service 
until i860, and was superseded by the present structure. It will seat 200 
persons, cost $2,000.00, and is now valued at $3,000.00. The society has 
seventy-seven members, with Rev. Elias W. Hatch, pastor. 

The Methodist Episcopal Church, located at West Berkshire, was organized 
in 1845. The society has 200 members with Rev. William Puffer, pastor. 
The building will seat 200 persons and is valued at $3,000.00. 

The Union Church, located at Berkshire Center, was built, and has since 
been occupied, as a union church, the denominations contributing to its erec- 
tion and maintenance holding services therein alternately, in proportion to 
their respective contributions. The Universalists, the Baptists and the Meth- 
odists are supposed to be the principal, and perhaps the only, owners, though 
neither has yet had a settled or permanently resident minister connected with 
the church. 



j^NOSBURGH, located in the eastern-central part of the county, in lat. 
s fjpT 44° 52', and long. 4 15', bounded north by Berkshire, east by Montgom- 
W ery, south by Bakersfield, and west by Sheldon, was granted as a township 
to contain thirty-six square miles, by Gov. Thomas Chittenden, March 12, 
1780, and chartered the 15th of the following May, to Roger Enos, from 
whom the the town received its name, and fifty-nine associates. The restric- 
tions and reservations under which the charter was issued were as follows : — 

" Each proprietor of the town of Enosburgh, his heirs and assigns shall 
plant and cultivate five acres of land, and build a house at least eighteen feet 
square on the floor, or have one family settle on each respective right, or 
share of land, within the term of four years next after the circumstances of 
the war will admit of settlement with safety, on penalty of forfeiture of his 
grant or share of land in said town ; the same to revert to the freemen of 
this State, to be by their representatives regranted to such persons as shall 
appear to settle and cultivate the same. Secundo : That all pine and oak 
timber suitable for a navy be reserved for the use and benefit of the freemen 
of this State." 

But as the town was not settled until many years after the date of the 
charter, the conditions attending its grant were not complied with. Still it 
does not appear that any of the grantees forfeited their right. On October 
31, 1798, a portion of the town of Bakersfield was annexed, so that the town

now contains something more than the original six miles square, or 23,040 
acres. 

In surface, Enosburgh is considerably diversified by mountain, hill, and 
dell, having a very picturesque contour, the eastern portion of the town lying 
entirely upon a spur of the Green Mountains. The western and central por- 
tions, however, are more level and unbroken. The soil generally is better 
adapted to the growth of grass than grain, though the alluvial flats in the basins 
of the several streams, and in the mountain valleys, is exceedingly rich and 
productive, yielding a large percentage of the fruits and grains indigenous to 
this latitude, with comparatively little labor. The country is well watered, and 
many excellent mill sites are afforded, by numerous streams, the principal ones 
being the Missisquoi river, flowing a westerly course through the northern 
part of the town, Trout river flowing across the northeastern corner, and 
Tyler's branch flowing across nearly the whole southern part of the town 
from east to west. All of these streams, constituting the principal water- 
courses, have numerous tributaries, some of which are of considerable size. 
The timber is that common to most of the highland towns of the State, con- 
taining large quantities of maple, from which many thousand pounds of sugar 
is manufactured each year. Geologically, the rocks of the town are com- 
posed almost entirely of talcose schist, with its several varieties. The south- 
eastern part contains a small bed of steatite, though no minerals of impor- 
tance have been found. The Missisquoi railroad crosses the northern part 
of the town, with stations at North Enosburgh, Enosburgh Falls, and Samp- 
sonville. 

In 1880, Enosburgh had a population of 2,213, was divided into fifteen 
school districts, and contained seventeen common schools, employing eight 
male and nineteen female teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary of 
$1,795.00. There were 509 pupils attending common schools, while the 
entire cost of the schools for the year ending October 31st, was $2,093.80, 
with Reuben Chaffee, superintendent. 

Enosburgh Falls, a post village and station on the Missisquoi railroad, 
is beautifully situated in the midst of a prosperous agricultural community, 
in the northwestern part of the town, on the Missisquoi river. The falls at 
this point, from which the village receives its name, afford the finest water- 
power in the county. The village contains four churches, (Episcopal, Bap- 
tist, Methodist, and Roman Catholic,) nine stores, two millinery and three 
dress-making shops, a high school, one hotel, Kendall's spavin cure manufac- 
tory, three carriage shops with blacksmith shops, three horse-shoeing shops, 
one bakery, one tannery, a shoe shop, lumber and shingle-mill, broom-socket 
manufactory, grist-mill, jobbing shop, where sash, doors and blinds are also 
made, a saw-mill and box factory, a woolen-mill, a livery, one dentist, and 
one photograph gallery. 

West Enosburgh, a post village located in the western part of the town 
on Tyler's branch, contains one church (Methodist), two stores, one black-

smith shop, a grist and flouring-mill, printing office, two shoe shops, and seven 
or eight dwellings. 

East Enosburgh, a hamlet located a little southeast of the central part of 
the town, on a tributary of Tyler's branch, contains one church (Baptist), a 
blacksmith shop, district school-house, and several dwellings. By reason of 
two men by the name of Stone having lived here at an early day. it has locally 
borne the name of Stoneville since. There were mills erected here at one 
time, and some manufacturing carried on, though there is none at present. 

Enosburgh Center (Enosburgh p. o.), a hamlet located near the center 
of the town, contains two churches (Congregational and Episcopal), one store, 
a blacksmith shop, wheelwright shop, a district school-house, hotel, and about 
half a dozen dwellings. The hamlet has a beautiful site, on an eminence, 
surrounded by well cultivated farms, betokening it the neighborhood of a 
thrifty class of people, rendering it also a desirable place in which to pass the 
heated months of summer. The hotel is kept by Mr. John Spooner, who 
has been its landlord for the past thirty years, and in that time gained an ex- 
perience in hotel keeping, which, with the assistance of his very estimable 
wife, renders his house a most homelike and welcome retreat. 

Bordoville (p. o.), a hamlet located in the southwestern corner of the 
town, contains one church (Advent), one store, a wagon and blacksmith shop, 
and several dwellings. 

North Enosburgh (p. o.), a station on the Missisquoi railroad, is a small 
hamlet located in the northern part of the town, on the Missisquoi river, 
about twenty miles from St. Albans. 

Sampsonville. a station on the Missisquoi railroad, is a small hamlet 
located on the Missisquoi river, containing a few dwellings, blacksmith shop, 
grist and saw-mill, and one store. It derived its name from a man by the 
name of Sampson who settled here many years ago. At one time it was the 
center of quite a lumbering district, mills were erected, and it bid fair to be- 
come a flourishing village; but for some reason it degenerated and the bustle 
of manufacture has dwindled down to one dilapidated old mill. 

Manley &* Tow/e's job shop and sash and door manufactory, located at Enos- 
burgh Falls, was established by Sprague & Manley, in 1872, and operated 
by them until the spring of 1878, when the present firm took possession. 
The firm does a general line of job work, in addition to manufacturing 
sash, doors, blinds, and builders' furnishings. They employ five men. 

Pierce's patent broom-socket manufactory, located at the Falls, was estab- 
lished in April, 1 871, by the North American Broom Co. The works are 
operated by water-power, employ fifteen hands, and manufacture 6,000 
broom-sockets per day. 

The Missisquoi flouring and grist-mi//, located at Enosburgh Falls, was 
established by the present owners, Stetson & Gilbert, in 1877. The mill is 
40 by 50 feet in size, exclusive of wheel-house, and operates four runs of 
stones, in addition to one set of machinery for merchant work, employing three 
men.

Gladden 6° Marsh's saw-mill and box factory, located at the Falls, was 
built by J. Burt & Sons, in 1868, upon the site of a mill built by John Burt 
many years ago. It is furnished with a circular saw, and cuts 300,000 feet of 
lumber and manufactures about 50,000 boxes per year, in addition to a large 
number of " Simplicity " bee-hives, employing three men. 

B. J. Kendall &° Co.'s spavin cure laboratory, located at the Falls, was 
erected in 1880, for the manufacture of this remedy, ranking as one of the 
largest industries of the county. The building is a commodious wood struct- 
ure, two and one-half stories in height, with a basement, and is furnished with 
all modern appliances and improvements for the manufacture of this valuable 
remedy. One large room is furnished with two printing presses and devoted 
entirely to preparing advertisements. The business now employs twenty men 
and is rapidly increasing. 

The Lawrence saw and shingle-mill, located at the Falls, was originally 
established as a saw-mill, with an upright saw. In 1852, it was purchased 
by Sprague &: Reed, who put in a circular saw, and on April 16, 1854, 
Reed's interest was purchased by John Lawrence, and the business continued 
under the firm name of Sprague & Lawrence until 1876, when Mr. Lawrence 
became sole owner and added the shingle-mill. The mill cuts about 500,000 
feet of lumber and manufactures 100,000 shingles per year, employing four 
men. « 

Lucia's tannery, located at Enosburgh Falls, was built about sixteen 
years ago by John Kellogg. Ij^ 1871, Antoine Lucia, the present owner, 
purchased the property. The business is now carried on by Leonard Irish, 
who does a general line of custom tanning. 

C. F. Ovitt 6° Sons' grist and flouring-mill, located at what was formerly 
known as Fuller's Falls, on Tyler's branch, was originally built by Judge 
Austin Fuller, the fourth he had built in this vicinity. It was destroyed by 
fire in 1877, and rebuilt by the present owners within four months subse- 
quent to the fire. The mill is furnished with three runs of stones, and grinds 
10,000 bushels of custom, and 12,000 bushels of merchant grain, per year. 

The Missisquoi Woolen Mills, located at the Falls, were purchased by 
Milton A. Kent, the present owner, a half interest in 1865, and the remainder 
in 1870. The mill has a water-power capacity for four sets of mills, operates 
seven looms, but is capable of running thirty-two, and consumes about one 
hundred pounds of wool per day, employing twelve hands. It makes a 
specialty of cassimeres and flannels. Mr. Kent is extensively engaged in the 
glove and mitten business in Boston, so the mill here is doing but little 
business in comparison to what it might. It is managed by Harvey Clark, 
who has held the position since 1873. 

John L. Per ley's grist-mill, located at Sampsonville, was built by Norman 
Davis, upon the site of a mill built many years ago. The mill has one run 
of stones and does custom work. 

Perley 's saw-mill, located at Sampsonville, was built by Anson and John

L. Perley, and is now the property of the latter. It is operated by water- 
power and uses a circular saw. 

Gilbert's tannery, located on Tyler's branch, at the junction of roads 33 
and 34, was built by John Tolman, from Massachusetts, in 1827, and sold to 
Dexter Gilbert, in 1837, who in turn transferred it to his son, Lyman, the 
present owner. It turns out about 1,000 hides and 6,000 skins per year, em- 
ploying three hands. 

Charles L. Rounds 's carriage shop, located on road 45, was established by 
the present owner in 1878. It employs three hands, and does a general line 
of carriage and wagon work. Mr. Rounds has also a cider-mill attached 
which makes 400 barrels of cider per year. 

L. C. Kendall's carriage shop, located on St. Albans street, turns out a 
general line of carriages, wagons, and sleighs, manufacturing about fifty of 
the former and thirty of the latter per year, giving employment to seven 
hands. Mr. Kendall also deals in lumber, lath, shingles, etc. 

Alfred A. Simpkins's saw-mill, located on road 48, corner 52, is furnished 
with a circular saw and cuts about 350,000 feet of lumber per annum. It 
has also a shingle and custom feed-mill attached. 

None of the original proprietors ever settled in the town. Their first 
meeting was held at the residence of Joseph Baker, in Bakersfield, Septem- 
ber 8, 1795, when, and at subsequent meetings, the following business was 
transacted : — 

" Chose Jedediah Hyde, Stephen House, Samuel D. Sheldon, Levi House, 
Amos Fassett, Joseph Baker and Martin D. Follett, a committee to allot 
said township at their discretion, after they have reviewed said township 
thoroughly. Adjourned to meet at five o'clock this p. m., at the house of 
Jonathan Fisk, in Cambridge. Attest, Jedediah Hyde, moderator; Martin 
D. Fisk, clerk. Met agreeably to adjournment. Adjourned till to-morrow 
at six o'clock, a. m., then to meet at this place. September 9, proprietors 
met agreeably to adjournment. First, — Voted that said committee lay out 
ten acres in center of said town of Enosburgh, for a public parade, or as 
near the center as the land will admit of; taking into view every other cir- 
cumstance relating thereto ; which ten acres to be laid in square form. Ad- 
journed until the 24th of October next, at seven a. m., at the house of Joseph 
Baker, in Bakersfield. At which time the proprietors first voted to give 
Stephen House the privilege of pitching 400 acres of land, as the law 
specifies, for building a saw-mill and grist-mill in said town ; which mills are 
to be completed at a time to be agreed upon by said proprietors at their 
next meeting; said House to give bonds for the performance of the business. 
Adjourned until the fifth day of May next, at nine o'clock a. m., at this 
place." 

From this time forward the proprietors met from time to time, transacting 
the usual business of a new settlement, until January 29, 1823, when they 
ceased, nothing of particular importance ever having been voted by them. 

The first family who wintered in the town was that of a Mr. Balch, con- 
sisting of himself and wife, in the winter of 1796, and '97. They located in 
the western part of the town, upon what has since been known as Balch hill. 
Previous to this, from 1795, some who owned land had come on and worked

upon it during the summer and returned to their homes in the winter. The 
real settlement of the town, however, dates from the spring of 1797, com- 
menced by Amos Fassett, Henry House, Martin D. Follett and others, most 
of whom came from other towns in the State. But, once started, the settle- 
ment rapidly advanced, so that at the first freemen's meeting, September 3, 
1799, twenty-eight persons took the oath of allegiance, and in 1800, the 
census returns show the town to have had a population of 143. 

Among those who came into the town during the first years of its settle- 
ment, from 1795 to 1805, were the following: Stephen House, Henry Hop- 
kins, Martin D. Follett, Putnam, Amos Fassett, Isaac Baldwin, Samuel 

Cooper, Nathan Pierce, Ketch Peck, Ebenezer Bogue, James Tracy, Joseph 
Waller, William Barber, Robert Barber, Charles Rosier, Challis Safford,

Sweatland, Talma Hendrick, David Fassett, Cyrus Balch, Amos Balch, 
James Holden, Joseph Rowley, James McAllister, and Benjamin Follett. 

The town was organized and the first town meeting held March 19, 1798, 
at the house of Samuel Little, w^ien Jonas Brigham was chosen moderator; 
Isaac B. Farrar, town clerk ; Charles Follett, Samuel Little, and Martin Dun- 
ning, selectmen ; and Moses Farrar, constable. The first justice was Thomas 
Richards, chosen in 1767, and William Barber the first representative, in 
1798. The first child born in the town was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Balch, 
previously mentioned. He was named Enos, from the name of the 
town, and, it is said, was cradled in a sap trough. He became a Methodist 
minister. The first birth, according to the records, was that of Anna F. 
Farrar, daughter of Isaac B. and Anna Farrar, June 4, 1798. The first mar- 
riage was that of Joshua Miller and Patty Rosier, March 25, 1802. The first 
mills as per contract with House, were built at the Falls. The first school- 
house was built of logs, covered with bark, and had a bark floor, the school 
being kept by Betsey Little. The first cart was owned by Stephen House, and 
the first wagon by Ephraim Adams. The first saw-mill, in the eastern part 
of the town, was built by T. M. Pollard. The first grist-mill, in the south- 
eastern part of the town, by Joseph Wright, in 18 12. The first framed 
school-house, at the Center, answered the purpose of town, court, school, 
and meeting-house, and was called the " town-house." The first har- 
ness maker was Ebenezer Bogue, who made the first harness of elm bark ; 
he also established the first tannery, but meeting with success at neither, he 
commenced farming. The first store was kept by Deacon Thomas Fuller, 
at North Enosburgh, his goods being brought from Boston on an ox-sled. 



TOWN OF ENOSBURGH. 



The first physician was Dr. Caleb Stevens, who located at North Enosburgh. 
The first death was that of a negro, who was frozen to death while passing 
through the town from Cambridge to Sheldon, where he was to be married. 
The next was that of Mr. Cole, killed while assisting in building a log house 
on the Safford place. Samuel Little kept the first tavern, at the Center. 

Quite a number of the early settlers were veterans of the war for Indepen- 
dence, and some even had been enrolled among the Green Mountain Boys, 
against the Yorkers. In the war of 1812, the town responded to the call for 
aid with the following company : Martin D. Follett, captain ; Benjamin Fol- 
let, lieutenant ; Alvin Fassett, corporal • Solomon Dodge, Henry Follett, John 
Flint, Samuel Hedge, Barnabas Hedge, Nathan Hedge, Talma Hendrick, 
James Miller, John Miller. William Miller, John Martin, Joseph Pollard, 
Anthony Bessey, Abijah Rice, Enoch Pease, John Osborne, Laban Brown, 
Asa Ladd, Samuel Kendrick, privates; and Hiram Fassett, musician. During 
our last great war the town again responded generously, both with money and 
soldiers, furnishing 153 of the latter, and sacrificed not a few of her sons, 
twenty- four of whom went out never to return. 

Judge Amos Fassett, from Bennington, Vt., located at the Falls at a very 
early date, where he and Stephen House built the first saw-mill, receiving in 
consideration thereof, a grant of 800 acres of land, from the State legislature. 
Mr. Fassett was a man of sterling worth, and won the respect of all with 
whom he came in contact. He was the father of ten children, and died while 
attending court at St. Albans, in 1810. His descendants, many of whom still 
reside here, have been considered among the honored men of the community. 

Samuel Stevens, from Hartland, Vt., located in the northern part of the 
town, where he reared a family of seven children, — four sons and three daugh- 
ters, — two of whom, Elmira L., wife of George Adams, and Samuel H., still 
reside here. 

The latter was born in i8n, married Elizabeth W. Childs, of Boston, and 
reared a family of six children. In 1832, he removed to Boston, where he 
was engaged in mercantile pursuits until 1840, when he returned to Enos- 
burgh and located upon the farm he now occupies. Among the positions of 
trust he has ably filled are those of trustee of the University of Vermont for a 
period of ten years, State Senator in 1860-61, member of the Constitutional 
Convention in 1850 and 1857, justice of the peace forty years, town lister for 
several years, and town auditor for the past thirty years, he being now a hale 
old man seventy-one years of age. His wife died March 29, 1882, aged sixty- 
nine years. John Whitcomb, an early settler, located upon the farm now 
owned by John M. Whitcomb, it never having passed out of the family pos- 
session since. John built a log house in the wilderness, where was born to 
him and his wife, Amanda Ovitt, of Pownal, Vt., a family of seven children, 
all of whom located in their native town. 

Levi Nichols located upon the farm now owned by George H. Nichols, on 
road 34, at an early date. He married Rachel Smith, of Windsor, Vt., and 
had a family of nine children. 



TOWN OF ENOSBURGH. 85 

Benjamin Rice, an early settler, located upon the farm now owned by his 
son, Benjamin H. Rice, on road 47, where he remained until his death, March 
9, 1854. 

Benjamin H. was born July 6, 1817, married Percus G. Allen, and has 
one child, Edna T., the wife of H. S. Leach. Mr. Rice is much respected, 
and during his long life here has held several of the town trusts. 

William Brown, from Stafford, Vt., came to Enosburgh at an early day, and 
located on road 46, upon the farm now occupied by William Ordway. His 
son, Laban, who came a few years previous, built the first house on the farm. 
Laban was twice married, and reared a family of eight children, of whom 
Edwin P., located on road 52, is the only one now living in the town. 

James Miller, an early settler on road 52, located where J. D. Wright now 
resides. He married Sarah Stewart, from New Hampshire, and reared a family 
of seven children, one only of whom, Susannah, widow of John Snell, now re- 
sides here, aged eighty-five years. 

Rufus Bliss, born September 12, 1768, came to the eastern part of Sheldon 
some time between the years 1795 and 1798. He married Betsey Stevens, 
of Castleton, Vt., by whom he had a family of twelve children. Nine of the 
children arrived at a mature age, and there are now living Milton H. Bliss, 
of Swanton, and Bradley and Prucilla (Mrs. H. B. Chamberlin) in this town. 
Mr. Bliss served in the war of 18 12, and died as he had lived, a firm Baptist, 
August 12, 1855, at the house of his son-in-law, H. B. Chamberlin, aged 
nearly eighty-seven years, and was buried at North Fairfield. 

Samuel Bessey, one of the earliest settlers in the town, came here from 
Woodstock, Vt., and located upon the farm now owned by his son, Henry. 
He married Hope Vaughn, by whom he had a family of eight children. Both 
he and his wife died, and were buried in Enosburgh. 

Talma Hendrick, born at Pownal, Vt., October 20, 1773, came to Enos- 
burgh among the earliest settlers, and located upon the farm now owned by 
his son, J. P., on road 30. He married Lydia Thomas, of Lebanon, by whom 
he had a family of twelve children, two of whom, Mrs. William McAllister, 
and James P., are living. Mr. Hendrick was much honored during his long 
life here, and for many years was a deacon of the Baptist church. He died 
October 29, 1862, age nearly ninety years. 

Dexter Gilbert, born at Malboro. Vt., in 1793, moved with his father, 
Elam, to this county when about five years of age. He had a family of 
seven children, and died at Sheldon, in 1847, aged forty-seven years. Dexter 
Gilbert, now residing in this town, on road 44, is another of the family, which

The First Congregational Church of Enosburgh, located at Enosburgh 
Center, was organized by James Parker and John Truax, with ten members, 
in 181 1, the Rev. Thomas Skelton acting as their first pastor. The first church 
edifice was built in 1820, a wooden structure, which gave place to the pres- 
ent pleasant edifice erected in 1870. It is built of wood, will seat 250 persons, 
and cost $10,000.00, about its present value. The society now has 142

but at present, owing to removals, the society has only seventy-five members, 
with Elder H. W. Pierce, pastor. The church building, a wood structure 
capable of accommodating 250 persons, was erected in 1864, at a cost of 
$700.00. Within the past three years it has been thoroughly repaired, so 
that it is now valued at $900.00. The society also maintains a Sabbath 
school or thirty-five pupils, in which a very lively interest is manifested. 

St. Matthew's Protestant Episcopal Church, located at Enosburgh Falls, 
was organized October 7, 1869, by the Rev. Homer White, who also acted as 
first rector. The society at first consisted of but three members, which num- 
ber has increased to thirty-nine, the present rector being Rev. F. A. Wad- 
leigh. The church building, a wood structure, was begun in 1872, and con- 
secrated September 29, 1874, the first service being held therein February

$7,000.00. 



^PTlAIRFAX, a pentagonal shaped town located in the southern tier of the 
*f~f county, in lat. 44 42' and long. 5 56', is bounded north by Fairfield, 
W east by Fletcher, south by Westford, in Chittenden county, and west by 
Georgia. It was granted by New Hampshire to Edward Burling and sixty- 
two others, August 18, 1763, entitling them to 23,040 acres, butted and 
bounded as follow : — 

" Beginning at the northeasterly corner of Westford, a township lately 
granted, from thence running westerly by Westford, as that runs, to the north- 
westerly corner thereof, which is also the southeasterly corner of Georgia, 
thence turning off northwardly, and running by Georgia aforesaid, as that 
runs, to the northeasterly corner thereof; thence turning off easterly, and 
running so far on a parallel line with the northwardly side line of Westford 
aforesaid, as that a straight line drawn from that period to the northeasterly 
corner bound of Westford aforesaid, shall include the contents of six miles 
square — 23,040 acres." 

The tract thus described was duly laid out and surveyed, and retains the 
same area now, no changes in its boundary lines ever having been made. 
The usual restrictions and reservations incident to the New Hampshire grants

were contained in this charter, though there seems to have been little 
given to them by the settlers, or by the grantees themselves, none of whom, 
however, ever located in the town. 

In surface Fairfax is broken and hilly, affording excellent pasturage for 
flocks, and producing abundant crops of hay and grain in its valleys and 
intervales. None of the hills approach the dignity of mountains, though 
Buck hill approaches the nearest to the name. The scenery is varied and 
pleasing, as is the case with most of the towns in this vicinity. The soil is 
light and easily cultivated, and watered by several good sized streams which 
afford some fine mill-sites. The principal of these streams is the Lamoille 
river, one of the largest in the State. It enters the southern part of the town 
from Lamoille county and flows across the town, a serpentine course parallel 
with the southern boundary line. About midway between the eastern and 
western lines are falls on this river, where the water descends some eighty- 
eight feet in a distance of thirty rods, affording some of the best mill privileges 
in the county. Mill brook, rising in the northern part of the town, unites 
with the Lamoille at Fairfax village. Beaver Meadow brook rises in the 
northern part of the town, flows a southwesterly course and enters Georgia 
near the Lamoille. Brown's river enters from the south and unites with the 
Lamoille in the western part of the town. Lumbering has been one of the 
principal industries of the town, and is carried on to some extent at present, 
though the forests have mostly disappeared. The varieties of timber most 
common are maple, beech, elm, ash, basswood, of the deciduous kind; the 
pine, hemlock, spruce, and fir, with some cedar in the swamps, of the ever- 
green varieties. Fairfax is naturally divided into three separate parts — the 
south part, where the village is located ; North Fairfax, including that por- 
tion north of Beaver Meadow brook ; and Buck Hollow, closed round by 
hills, through the center of which flows Mill brook. Each of these sections, 
has a postoffice, known respectively as Fairfax, North Fairfax, and Buck Hol- 
low. Geologically the town has three general ranges of rocks, extending in 
parallel ledges north and south. The western part of the town overlies a 
bed of quartz rock ; the extreme eastern part is composed of talcose schist 
while between them is an immense bed of talcose co7iglomerate. Each of 
these general divisions, however, contain well-developed specimens of the 
several rocks that enter into their formation, as more fully mentioned on 
page 22. 

In 1880, Fairfax had a population of 1,820, was divided into eighteen 
school districts and contains eighteen common schools, employing three 
male and twenty female teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary of 
$1,752.00. There were 430 pupils attending school, while the entire cost of 
the schools for the year ending October 31st, was $2,013.20. W. A. Rob- 
inson was school superintendent. 

North Fairfax, a post village located in the northern part of the town, 
contains about a dozen dwellings.

TOWN OF FAIRFAX. 



Fairfax, a post village located in the southern part of the town on the 
Lamoille river, contains two churches (Baptist and Methodist), two hotels, an 
academy building, two drug stores, one hardware store, one jewelry store, five 
general stores, one saw-mill, and between 300 and 400 inhabitants. 

The New Hampton Institution, located at Fairfax village, was founded in 
183 1, at New Hampton, N. H., and was removed to its present location in 
1853. Rev. Eli B. Smith was its first president in its new location, and un- 
der his management the school enjoyed remarkable prosperity, numbering 
nearly 300 students. The Institution has a location second to none in the 
State, has a fine library of 2,000 volumes, and considerable philosophical ap- 
paratus. It is very able conducted under the successful management of Al- 
bert G. Cox, A. M., principal, with Miss E. M. Kidder, assistant. Instruc- 
tion is given in all branches sufficient to insure admission to any of the New 
England colleges. 

Buck Hollow (p.o.), a hamlet located in the eastern-central part of the town, 
on Mill brook, contains one church (Episcopal), and half a dozen dwellings. 

The Lamoille Mills are located at the Great Fall of Lamoille river, one 
and one-half miles south of the village of Fairfax. The falls have a descent 
of eighty-eight feet, comprising a series of cascades, affording power sufficient to 
carry one hundred and fifty thousand spindles. The present buildings were 
erected b} the present owner, Samuel N. Gaut, of Boston, Mass., who is the 
son of William and Hannah Gaut, ?nd was born at Brandon, Vt., in 1816. 

When quite young his parents moved to Middlebury, where they resided 
nine years. About 1830, they moved to Fairfax, from which place Samuel 
went to Boston, in 1836. He soon after started for himself in the baking 
business in that city, and in 1840, he opened a store on Washington street, at 
which location he still carries on the same business, having, during the past 
forty-two years, stood at the head in his business in that city. In 1843, he 
married Susan Elliott Dutton, of Newburyport, Mass. Soon after engaging 
in business in Boston he purchased a farm in Fairfax, half a mile from the 
present site of the Lamoille Mills. In 1849, he purchased of John Warner, 
of Cambridge, and James S. Blin, of Shelburne, the water-privilege of the 
Great Fall on both sides of the river, and at various times subsequently about 
eighty acres of land surrounding it. In 1850, he built a brick mill contain- 
ing four runs of stones for grinding flour, &c, for which purpose it is still used. 
In 1864, he erected a building for the manufacture of woolen goods, and in 
August, 1865, he formed a co-partnership with F. W. Shepardson, of Fairfax, 
for the manufacture of flannels, cassimeres and yarns, under the firm name 
Gaut & Shepardson, which continued until January, i88i,when Mr. Shepard- 
son retired from the business, since which time it has been conducted by Geo. 
S. Minot, agent, son-in-law of S. N. Gaut, The factory is a one set mill 
with job card, using Davis & Furber machinery, with Crampton looms, and 
continues to manufacture strictly all wool goods. Mr. Gaut has built also a 
two and a half story brick store and dwelling, where for several years he car-

ried on the sale of general merchandise, under the style of Gaut & Stewart, 
his partner being the late Hiram Stewart. The buildings connected with the 
mill, beside those heretofore mentioned, consist of six dwelling houses, three 
of which Mr. Gaut built. Although a citizen of Boston during the past forty- 
six years, he is always happy when he can give employment and do anything 
that will increase the business interests of the town of Fairfax. 

M. C.&> W. B. Shepardson, located on Stone's brook, two miles east of 
Fairfax, commenced the manufacture of linden feathers, in November, 1881, 
the first manufactory of this kind established in the East. Linden feathers 
are a manufactured article for filling beds and for lining carpets, made from 
the linden, or basswood tree. These feathers undergo a process of medica- 
tion whereby they are said to be rendered vermin proof, and being non-con- 
ductors of heat, cold or electricity, and at the same time very pliable and 
elastic, make an excellent substitute for natural feathers at a greatly reduced 
cost. 

W. H. Rood's saw-mill, located on road 25, is operated by water-power, 
employs two men, and cuts 150,000 feet of lumber per year. 

Newton D. Kidder's saw and grist-mill, located at Fairfax village, is operated 
by water-power, employs two men, does custom grinding, and cuts 200,000 
feet of lumber, and 75,000 shingles per annum. 

Edward A. Sowles's tannery manufactures from 5,000 to 9,000 rough deacon 
skins annually, using about fifty cords of bark. 

Broadstreet Spafford and his two sons, Nathan and Asa, came into Fair- 
fax from Piermont, N. H., in 1783, began improvements, and soon after re- 
moved their families here, being the first settlers in the town. A Mr. East- 
man started from New Hampshire with them, but died on the road, and was 
buried in a trough on the flats in Johnson. They located on the banks of the 
Lamoille, in the southeastern part of the town. During the following year 
they were joined by Robert and Jose Barnet, and in 1786, by Thomas Rus- 
sell, they all being related to each other. In 1787, Levi Farnsworth made the 
first settlement on the Plain. He came from Charlestown, N. H., bringing 
only his gun and an axe. In the autumn he returned to New Hampshire, 
and in 1790, moved his family to their new home. They moved by way of 
Williston, and thence cut their road to Cambridge Borough, there crossed the 
Lamoille, and proceeded down its north bank, by the road of Capt. Spafford, 
and again fording the river just below the falls, cut a road to their new home, 
about a mile distant. He was soon followed by his brothers and friends, 
Jasper Farnsworth, Sr., Jasper Farnsworth, Jr., Oliver Farnsworth, and Joseph 
Farnsworth, all of whom settled on the Plain. 

The first settlement made in North Fairfax was by Joseph Beeman, Sr., and 
Joseph Beeman, Jr. They came from Bennington, Vt., in the year 1786, on 
foot, carrying upon their backs their provisions and utensils for opening their 
farms. They built a house of logs, covered it with elm bark, and floored it 
with basswood, cleared a small space for corn and turnips and returned to 



9 2 



TOWN OF FAIRFAX. 



Bennington in the autumn. The following year they moved their family here. 
Mr. Beeman drove a cow, which was their main dependence for food. He 
brought his flour from Bennington, of which the first year he had some 300 
or 400 pounds. This year he raised a patch of turnips, and a small quantity 
of corn. The next year his sons, Joseph, Jr., and Beriah, came on, and became 
permanent settlers in the town. Numerous descendants of this family still 
reside here. The following season Hampton Lovegrove and Jacob Story boarded 
with Mr. Beeman, whilst they commenced settlements in the town. The 
settlement thus begun soon increased by Gideon Orton, Aaron Hastings, 
Shores Ufford, and others. 

The first settlement in Buck Hollow, was begun by Gould Buck and Abi- 
gail Hawley, who came from Arlington, in 1 791. They settled on land pur- 
chased by Lemuel Buck, of Arlington, of Elias Jackson and Eleazer Marble, 
of Salisbury, Litchfield county, Conn. This tract contained 1,400 acres, the 
original rights of John, Christopher, James, Viner and William Legraft, was 
purchased for ^100, and comprised the territory now known as Buck Hol- 
low. They were followed the next year by Jesse, George, Nathan, Zadock 
and Joseph Buck. 

The first improvements made where the village now stands, was by a man 
named Joseph Belcher, about the year 1787. t In 1789, William Maxfield, 
Lester Grosevenor and John Andros made a permanent settlement here. 
Stephen England came in 1788, and located on the old Belcher claim, where 
he soon after opened a hotel, the first in the village. He subsequently sold 
to Hampton Lovegrove, and the old stand yet remains in the village. 

The first certificate of warning for a town meeting, was as follows: — 

"Cambridge, April 20, 1787. 

" This may certify that the inhabitants of the town of Fairfax had a legal 
warning given out to them for a town meeting, in said Fairfax, on the 2 2d 
of March, A. D., 1787. 

" To whom it may concern. 

'• AMOS FASSETT, Justice of the Peace." 

Pursuant to this warning, the inhabitants met at the house of Capt. Broad- 
street Spafford, where Capt. Spafford was elected moderator ; Thomas Rus- 
sell, town clerk ; Nathan Spafford, constable ; and Broadstreet Spafford, 
Robert Barnet, and Thomas Russell, selectmen. The first justice was Broad- 
street Spafford, in 1787. The first representative was Thomas Russell, also 
in 1787. The first birth in town was that of Martha Powers, June 10, 1784. 
The first mill was built in 1791, at the Great Fall, by Judge Amos Fassett, 
of Cambridge. It was a frame building, and the inhabitants from Buck 
Hollow, North Fairfax, Cambridge and Westford, turned out to assist in rais- 
ing it. Previous to this the people had gone to Burlington and Vergennes 
for milling. Crane & Crandall established the first clothing works at the 
Great Fall ; but their building was carried off by the great freshet of June, 
1830. A woolen factory was built on a small scale, and a few years after- 
wards burned. The first machinery built on Mill brook was by a man named 



TOWN OF FAIRFAX. 



93 



Bidwell, in 1792. His was a log building, with a fulling mill, and tenter-bars 
for fulling and drying the cloth, which was spun and woven by the women. 
In 1806, Joseph Beeman, Jr., built a grist and saw-mill. Josiah Spafford 
made the first improvement about a mile north of the village, and Asa Wilkins 
the first in the northeastern part of the town. The first framed house built 
was by Joel Leonard, in 1792. The first framed barn by Levi Farnsworth. 
The first single wagon brought into town was by Josiah Brush, in 1808. Pre- 
vious to this there were several two-horse wagons, and numerous ox-carts 
upon which people would visit about, but the traveling was on horse-back. 
The first mowing machine brought here was in 1855, by Reuben Hunt. The 
first town hall was built in 1807, or near that time, and was occupied many 
years as a house of worship. The first doctor in town was Aaron Hastings. 
He settled in North Fairfax, frequently served as a lawyer, and is represented 
as having been a shrewd, active man. The next to locate here was Dr. Ross 
Coon. The first tavern was kept by Hampton Lovegrove, in North Fairfax, 
a few years after his settlement here, on the Johnson farm. The first road 
in town was marked out by Capt. Broadstreet Spafford, and underbrushed so 
that he could get through. The first mail route was through from Danville to 
St. Albans, and a man by the name of Trescott carried the mail. 

George Buck was born at New Milford, Conn., and removed to Arlington, 
Vt, with his father, previous to the Revolution. After the Revolution he came 
to this town and located upon the farm now owned by Cassius Buck, where 
he kept a public house for many years. 

Jedediah Merrill came to this town, from Connecticut, at an early date and 
settled on road 15, upon the farm now owned by his great-grandson, Adrian 
J. James, son of Jedediah, was born here previous to the year 1800, and 
Martin, son of James, was born on the old homestead, in 181 1. He married 
Eliza Story, reared a family of seven children, and died February 21, 1881. 
His widow still survives him. Adrian J., son of Martin, was born March 5, 
1843, married Julia Beeman, and is the present town representative. 

John Lawton, a veteran of the old French and Indian war, came to this town, 
from Hartland, Vt., in 1796, and located on road 57, upon the farm now owned 
by Henry Giddings. Mr. Lawton had a family of eleven children, one of 
whom, Taylor, came to Fairfax at the age of eighteen years, married Anna 
Brown, reared a family of three children, and died February 8, 1S65, aged 
eighty-six years. His son, John B., born in 1829, married Esther Harrington, 
has one son, George H., and now resides on road 15. 

Josiah Safford made the first settlement on the farm now owned by Lewis 
Story. Mrs. Safford brought with her a rose bush, which she planted in the 
yard. It is still standing, and continues to blossom each year. They reared 
a family of ten children. Silas was eleven years of age when they came ; he 
married Lucretia Story in 1803, and died at the age of seventy-eight years. 
The house now occupied by Mr. Story, was built by Josiah Safford in 1803, 
and is at present one of the oldest houses in the town.

Thomas Story, from Bennington, Vt., was an early settler, and made the 
first settlement on the farm now owned by Alburn M. Story. 

Thomas Farnsworth, from Charlestown, N. H., came to Fairfax at an early 
date, and settled upon the farm now owned by Mrs. Mary A. Weaver. He 
came to Burlington, and there learned something of the Lamoille river, and 
directed his journey in search of it, accompanied by his faithful dog. He 
struck the river at its mouth, and followed its banks until he arrived at Fair- 
fax Plain, where he located. Being pleased with the location, he immediately 
commenced improvements. He brought with him to his new home his gun, 
axe, a small quantity of flour, and a little bag of salt, relying for sustenance 
mainly upon the wild game and fish which were abundant in the vicinity. He 
remained here alone with his dog from May until October, clearing his land. 
Towards fall he was surprised by a visit from Tisdale Spafford, who called at 
his clearing while on his way from Cambridge to Burlington to procure seed- 
wheat. Mr. Farnsworth accompanied him on his journey, and being a man 
of great muscular power, brought back with him two bushels of wheat on his 
shoulder. This he sowed, then returned to his old home in New Hampshire, 
where he remained for the winter. In the spring, accompanied by his brother 
Oliver, he returned, bringing with him a horse laden with supplies. With this 
re-enforcement he was enabled to make much larger improvements, so that 
he soon had his farm cleared, upon which he continued to reside until his 
death, in 1814. He married Chloe Balch, and was the father of seven chil- 
dren, all of whom remained in Fairfax until they attained a mature age. Ira 
settled in the town as a tanner, and continued the business about twenty-five 
years, when he built the brick hotel at the village, and occupied it about eight 
years, then sold it and engaged in farming until his death. Three of his 
children are now residents of the town, Charles H, Alvah D., and Caro- 
line M. 

James Farnsworth, a lieutenant in the Revolution, came from Connecticut, 
and made the first settlement on the farm now owned by Henry Hull, where 
he died in 1800, aged seventy-two years. Oliver Farnsworth and his son Asa, 
both revolutionary soldiers, were early settlers. 

Hon. Joseph D. Farnsworth, born at Middletown, Conn., December 22, 
177 1, removed to Bennington, Vt., with his father, when but six years of 
age. At the age of sixteen he was fitted for college, after which he com- 
menced the study of medicine, in Connecticut, and, in the autumn of 1789, 
received a diploma, he being then but eighteen years of age. He located at

iPlAIRFIELD, the largest town in the county, lies in the central part of 
*f|f D the same, in lat. 44 49' and long. 4 5-', bounded north by Sheldon, 
w east by Bakersfield, and a small part of Enosburgh, south by Fletcher 
and Fairfax, and west by Swan ton and St. Albans. The town originally 
contained 23,040 acres, chartered, in connection with two others, Smithfield 
and Bakersfield, by New Hampshire, August 18, 1763, to Samuel Hunger- 
ford and sixty-three others. But on October 25, 1792, Fairfield, Smithfield 
and Bakersfield were made into two towns, Fairfield and Bakersfield, giving 
to Fairfield about 38,000 acres, thus making it the largest in the county. 

The surface of Fairfield is generally very uneven, though not so much so 
but that it is mostly susceptible to cultivation, and having a various, though 
excellent soil, it produces fine crops of grasses and grains, and also sustains 
large areas of grazing land. It is well watered by numerous streams, the 
principal of which is Black creek, which rises in Fletcher and flows from 
Bakersfield in a northwesterly course through this town into Sheldon. Fair- 
field river is a small stream which also has its source in Fletcher, and flowing 
north through the center of this town, unites with Black creek. Dead creek, 
sometimes called Cedar Swamp creek, on account of its having its source in 
a large cedar swamp lying in the western part of the town, flows in a north- 
erly course into the outlet of Fairfield pond. This pond is a beautiful sheet, 
coveiingan area about three miles in length by one and a half in breadth. 
The rocks of the town are almost entirely of the talcose formation, conglom- 
erate in the western, and schist in the eastern. No minerals of importance 
nor natural curiosities have been discovered. In times gone by lumbering 
was carried on quite extensively, and is now conducted to some extent, the 
principal timber being of the hard wood varieties. Agriculture, however, is 
now the prevailing industry, the products finding a convenient mode of 
transportation in the St. J. & L. C. railroad, which extends through the 
town in a northwesterly direction, with a station at East Fairfield.

In 1880, Fairfield had a population of 2,172, was divided into twenty 
school districts, and contained nineteen common schools, employing nine 
male and nineteen female teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary of 
$1,953.87. There were 507 pupils attending common school, while the 
entire cost of the schools for the year ending October 31st, was $2,387.56.

Jabez Burr, from Reading, Conn., settled here. In 1790, the population was 
increased by the advent of Samuel Hollister, Samuel Gilbert, Dimon Barlow, 
and Jehiel Smith. In 1791, Joseph Soule, with his sons, Timothy, Isaac 
Newton, Salmon, Joseph, Hiram, and Harry, from Dover, N. Y., came on ; 
and, in 1792, Francis Story, Reuben Crow, and Isaac Luce took their resi-

The first meeting of the proprietors was held at Fairfield, Conn., February 
16, 1774, at the house of Gershom Bradley. No business of importance 
seems to have been transacted. From this date until 1804, the proprietors 
met at intervals when the usual business of dividing the lands, laying out 
roads, etc., was voted upon ; but in this year the proprietary government 
seems to have ended. The town was organized and the first town meeting 
held, March 30, 1791, at the house of Joseph Wheeler. Joseph Wheeler was 
chosen moderator; Edmund Town, town clerk; Levi Wakeman, constable; 
Edmund Town, Thomas Northrop, and Ralph Gregory, selectmen ; Joseph

The proprietors presented him with one hundred acres of land. The first 
physician was Joseph D. Farnsworth, and the first lawyer Bates Turner. 

Francis Story, one of the earliest settlers in the town, was born at Benning- 
ton, Vt., in 1762. He first located in Fairfax, upon the farm now occupied 
by O. S. McGovern, whence, after two or three years' residence, he removed 
to this town, locating upon the farm now occupied by Mrs. Daniel Story, 
Frances Story, (his only surviving daughter-in-law,) and a grandson of Frances 
Story. At that early date the snow used to lie upon the ground to the depth 
of four or five feet in the winter, and the nearest neighbors were three or four 
miles distant, so that in case of illness it was almost impossible to procure 
medical assistance. For this reason the women were indefatigable in their 
efforts to assist at the bedside of sickness, and not behind the most zealous 
was Mrs. Story, as the anecdotes and incidents still related by her descendants 
will testify. To go to mill, the settler would put his grain upon an ox-sled 
and draw it through the forest to the lake shore, and thence transport it by 
boat to Plattsburgh. After the grinding was done they would return to where 
they had left their oxen to browse, search them out, and after many difficul- 
ties arrive home after a two or three days' journey. Mrs. Story is said to 
have often claimed that the country could not have been settled, in the face of 
so many difficulties, had it not been for the abundance of game and fish. 
But notwithstanding all these hardships, Mr. Story, with good management 
and the help of his hardy sons, succeeded in soon making a comfortable home, 
surrounded with orchards of apple, cherry, and plum trees, and laid aside, 
one by one, the primitive privations and inconveniences of the pioneer, to- 
gether with a comfortable competence. He died on the old homestead, May 
30, 1830, aged sixty nine years. Mrs. Story died October 17, 1845, aged 
eighty years. Their family consisted of nine children, — seven sons and two 
daughters, — none of whom are now living. One son, Rev. Samuel Story, was 
settled as the pastor of the Baptist church of Plattsburgh, where he remained 
a long time, and one daughter settled in Cambridge, while all the others located 
in Fairfax and Fairfield, where many of their descendants now reside. 

Josiah Briggs, an ex-lieutenant of the revolutionary army, from Shaftsbury, 
Vt., came to Fairfield at an early date, and located upon the farm now 
occupied by George Gould. Mr. Briggs made his journey thither on an ox- 
sled, following the trail of the few others who had preceded him. He became 
one of the esteemed citizens of the town, filled many of the town offices, and 
died here at an advanced age. Of his family of eight children, but one is 
now living, a son, eighty years of age, in Wisconsin. His only representative 
now in the town is a grandson, Joseph Briggs Webster, who is sixty-five 
years of age. 

Andrew Bradley, another of the pioneers, came to Fairfield from New 
Fairfield, Conn., and located upon a farm in the northern part of the town, 
on which he continued to reside until his death, in 1 830, aged over eighty 
years. He was much respected and filled several of the town trusts. Of

his seven children, three married prominent men of the town, as follows: 
The oldest, Abel Northrop ; the second, Solomon Soule ; and the youngest, 
Ira Wheeler. 

John Sturtevant, from Fairfield, Conn., came to this town at an early date 
and located upon the farm now occupied by Newell Coburn. In the war of 
1 81 2, he served for a short time as a fifer, and was stationed at Burlington. 
He was the father of eleven children, three of whom are now living, one in 
St. Albans, one in Ohio, and Josiah Sturtevant in this town, on road 63. 
Mr. Sturtevant was an industrious, enterprising citizen, and died here at the 
age of sixty-six years. 

Stephen Fox, from Hartford, Conn., came to this town among the early 
settlers, and located in the northeastern part, near P'airfield pond. Here he 
remained until age incapacitated him from labor, after which he resided 
alternately with his children, and finally died at the residence of one of his 
daughters, in Montgomery, aged eighty-four years. It is somewhat remark- 
able that Mr. Fox was married five times, and was the father of twenty-one 
children. 

Ezra Sherman, an early settler from Fairfield, Conn., located upon the farm 
now occupied by J. C. Abell. Here he built a log house which was used for 
a time, but which ultimately gave place to a comfortable framed house that 
is now occupied. He was a firm supporter of the Baptist church, of which 
he was a deacon for a long series of years, acting in that capacity under the 
pastorate of Elder William Arthur, father of the present President. He 
died at an advanced age, having reared a family of nine children, none of 
whom are now living. 

John B. Mitchell served seven years in the revolutionary war, returned home 
to Hartford, Conn., and was married to a young lady sixteen years of age, 
and when the settlers first commenced to come into this town started on foot 
with his wife to make for himself a new home here. This they accom- 
plished by locating upon the farm now owned by Samuel H. Soule. Their 
first house was built on the low bottom land along the creek, but the first 
overflow of the stream caused them to seek higher land as a site for their 
residence. Here they remained until their death, at an advanced age, Mrs. 
Mitchell attaining the great age of 106 years. They reared a family of eight 
children, none of whom are living, though the family is represented here by 
several grandchildren. 

Thomas Northrop, from Sherman, Conn., came to the forests of Fairfield 
in 1790, and settled upon a farm of 140 acres which he had purchased from 
one of his brothers, an original proprietor of the town, paying therefor $100.00. 
Upon this he made a small clearing, planted some corn, and cut some hay 
from a beaver meadow, and also erected a small log cabin, then returned to 
Connecticut. In the following spring he started for his new home with a yoke 
of oxen and one horse hitched to a heavy sled, upon which was placed his 
household effects and provisions for his family, consisting of his wife and

three children. After a long and tedious journey, he arrived here and 
commenced his useful life, remaining in this town until his death. He had 
a family of four sons and seven daughters, only one of whom, Harmon Nor- 
throp, is now living, at the age of eighty-seven years. Harmon has been a 
deacon of the Congregational church, to which he has been a pillar for the 
past fifty years. He has held nearly all the offices in the gift of the town, 
and has also held the office of county commissioner four years, and was pres- 
ident of the Franklin County Agricultural Society three years. The great 
regard felt for his opinion and advice is attested by the fact that he has as- 
sisted in the settlement of, or settled independently, sixty-one different estates. 

Ezra Sturgis, a sea-faring man, came to Fairfield in 1790, and located upon 
a farm on road 12, where he resided many years.

in the " Mayflower." Joseph Soule, who served in the revolution, had a family 
of six sons and two daughters, all of whom settled in this town and in Fair- 
fax. Timothy, the oldest son, came to Fairfield from Dover, Conn., about 
the year 1792. He was twenty-two years of age when he settled in his wilder- 
ness home, and remained until his death, December 27, 1861, aged ninety- 
three years. His youngest child, James M., now resides on the old home- 
stead. Salmon Soule, brother of Timothy, came to Fairfield a year or two 
after his father, and located upon the farm now occupied by his son, C. Rollin, 
where he carried on the business of blacksmithing, in addition to conducting 
his farm. As a blacksmith he made himself particularly useful to the early

cessful, and succeeded in gaining the regard and esteem of his townsmen, 
whom he honorably represented in many offices of trust. He died in 1863, 
aged eighty-four years. Of his family of eleven children, only three, A. G., 
Samuel H., and Mrs. A. A. Farrand, are now living.

1788, made some improvements on a farm, and returned to Fairfield, Con- 
necticut. In the spring of 1789, he returned, bringing his wife and two chil- 
dren, and located permanently upon the farm now owned by Mr. Oliver, on 
road 21. His honorable life was brought to a close in 1844, in his eighty- 
fourth year, 

Amos Northrop came to Fairfield, from Fairfield, Conn., in 1792, and 
located where Thomas Hale now resides. Here he resided until his death, 
in 1849, aged eighty-three years. During the war of 1812, he started to 
market, at Plattsburgh, with a load of oats, and upon his arrival there was 
pressed into the service of the United States, and sent with his team to 
Sackett's Harbor, to transport soldiers and supplies, and was retained from 
home from January until March. During a portion of this time he was obliged 
to camp in the forest with no protection from the weather, and thereby had 
his feet frozen so badly that a portion of the right foot had to be amputated. 
He reared a family of four sons and three daughters, only one of whom, 
Horatio, residing at East Fairfield, is living. 

Capt. Joab Smith, the so-called " father of the town," was born at Oak- 
ham, Mass., September y } 1774, and removed from there to this town in

civil and military offices for an unprecedented length of time. He was 
elected chief selectman of the town nine successive terms ; was town treas- 
urer for many years, holding the office at the time of his death ; was elected 
justice of the peace forty-nine consecutive years, and was eleven times elected 
to the general assembly. Possessed of an unusual degree of intellectual 
power and activity, he would doubtless have attained an elevated professional 
position had he been favored with early educational advantages. His 
widow and three married daughters survive him. 

Moses Dimon was born at Weston, Conn., in 1776, and when nineteen 
years of age removed to this town, making his home with his uncle, Andrew 
Bradley, in the southern part of the town. He worked around for the early 
settlers until twenty-two years of age, when he married and located upon the 
farm now owned and occupied by his grandson, Henry W. Dimon. By in-

Joseph Larkin was born at New Haven, Conn., in 1758, married Hannah 
Winslow. of Brandon, Vt., in 1785, and came to this town in 1810, and located 
upon the farm now owned by B. F. Bradley, where he died soon after, aged fifty-

descendant. 

Thomas Ryan came to Vermont from Ireland, about the year 18 12, and 
worked at his trade of tailoring at Burlington for a time, then removed to 
this town and located upon the farm now owned by his son, John H. Soon 
after locating here he married Catharine Belfort, the union being blessed

the father of eleven children, seven of whom are now living. 

Elder William Arthur, the father of our President, was born in Ireland, 
finished his education at Edinburgh, Scotland, and soon after its completion 
came to America, and located at Dunham. He first took up the study of 
law ; but after his marriage with Miss Stone, daughter of Rev. Washington 
Stone, he entered the ministry of the Free Will Baptist church, and shortly 
after united with the Baptist church. He taught school and preached in several 
localities throughout Chittenden and Franklin counties, and Canada. In 
1 829,* he received a call from the Baptist church of North Fairfield, which he 
accepted, and removed to that village. He first occupied a portion of Jonathan 
Bailey's dwelling, where he remained until the church built a parsonage. The 
parsonage was located on a lonely by-road, some three-quarters of a mile 
from the church, a story and a half structure, about 18 by 24, and is still in 
existence, though it has been moved about one hundred rods down the hill 
and across the highway, where it is used as a hay-barn. In this unpretentious 
structure the Elder passed a few years of an uneventful life, and here was 
born his son, Chester A., the present chief magistrate of our nation. Young 
Arthur was named in honor of Dr. Chester Abell, long a friend and physician 
of the family, and who now peacefully rests in the little cemetery near the 
church were Elder Arthur officiated. 

Fairfield has always borne her full share of the burden when the shadow 
of war overspread the land. In 18 13, the following company, with Capt. 
George Kimball commanding, was stationed at Swanton : George Kimball, 
captain; Aaron Burr, lieutenant; William Felton, ensign; Daniel Morse,

the civil war of 1861, thirty-seven of whom died from wounds received, or 
from natural causes, before their term of service expired. 

St. Pat?-ick , s Catholic Church, located at Fairfield. — There were a number 
of Catholic families in Fairfield when Rev. Y. O'Callaghan came to Vermont, 
in 1830, whom he visited there occasionally, and always notified them when 
he would be in St. Albans or any of the adjacent towns, and who attended 
upon his ministrations in considerable numbers. They were also visited at 
intervals by missionary priests from other quarters. In 1847, soon after 
Rev. G. A. Hamilton came to St. Albans, they built a church at Fairfield, 
there being about sixty subscribers to the fund, very few of whom are now 
living. Rev. G. A. Hamilton celebrated mass on alternate Sundays until 
Rev. H. Lennon came to assist him, when either one or the other officiated 
each Sabbath. In 1850, Rev. Y. M. McGowan came to St. Albans, and 
took charge of the Fairfield parish until 1855, when he left the diocese, and 
Rev. T. Riordan was placed in charge, and in 1858, was removed to Fair- 
field as resident pastor, and the society built the parsonage for him that 
is occupied by the present incumbent, and which he occupied until his death, 
October 4, 1861, aged twenty-nine years. Fairfield was then attended by 
Rev. Y. L. Cam, fromSwanton, until December, 1862, when Rev. Y. Dughie, 
was placed in charge of the parish, and remained until June, 1864, at which 
time Rev. G. R. N. Caissey took his place, retaining it up to October, 1868. 
Rev. Father McAuley was then appointed parish priest, occupying the 
position until 1879. During Father McAuley' s pastorate the present church 
was erected, as represented in the accompanying engraving, at a cost of 
$6,000.00. In 1879, the Father left Fairfield, and the parish then began to 
be attended by Rev. Father Michaud, from Burlington. In 1880, Rev. Dr.

Glynn, from Fairhaven, was appointed to the vacancy, remaining until 
October, 1881 ; then, for a period of three months, the parish was without a 
resident pastor, or until January, 1882, when the present incumbent, Rev. 
Francis Yoinec, from Milton, took it in charge. The parish of Fairfield 
comprises the towns of Fairfield and Fletcher, and that portion of Sheldon 
lying south of the Lamoille river, and includes a population of about 150 
families. 

The Church of Christ, Congregational, located at Fairfield Center, was or- 
ganized September 22, 1800, with four members, by Rev. Daniel Turner, a. 
missionary from Massachusetts. Rev. Benjamin Wooster, the first pas- 
tor, was installed July 24, 1805, and continued with the society until his 
death, February 18, 1840. The church building, a brick structure capable 
of seating 300 persons, was erected in 1839, at a cost of about $3,000.00, 
though the property is now valued at only about $1,000.00. The society 
has at present thirteen members, with no regular pastor. 

The Trinity Episcopal Church, located at Fairfield Center, was organized 
in June, 1803, by the Rev. Russell Catlin, of Connecticut, when Nathan Lob- 
dell and Hubbard Barlow were elected wardens, and Maj.-Gen. Barlow, clerk. 
The Rev. Barzillai Buckley was the first rector who officiated regularly in the 
parish, in 1806. The first house of worship was built in 1818, and was suc- 
ceeded by the present building in 1864, which is a moderate sized building 
valued at about $3,000.00, including grounds. The society now has 175 
members, with Rev. A. H. Bailey, D. D., rector. 

The East Fairfield Meeting-house Association was organized by Methodists 
and Universalists, June 2, 1866, with twenty-seven members, by choosing 
H. A. Fox, chairman; I. N. Pomeroy, secretary; and N. W. Isham, 
treasurer. During that summer they erected a neat edifice, capable of seat- 
ing 300, at a cost of $2,100. Rev. Charles Ross is the present pastor. 

The Evangelical Advent Church, located at North Fairfield, was originally 
organized about i860, but was reorganized December 2, 1876, with eighteen 
members., by Rev. J. Somberger, the present pastor, and Rev. Othni 
Rockwell. The society now has nineteen members, and holds its meetings 
in the school-house, though they also own an interest in the union church 
at North Fairfield, and sometimes hold meetings there. 



pEJpLETCHER, a triangularly shaped town, located in the southeastern corner 
*f|| ) of the county, in lat. 44 42', and long. 4 7', is bounded north by Fair- 
W field and Bakersfield, east by Waterville and Cambridge, in Lamoille 
county, and south and west by Fairfax. It was granted by Gov. Thomas 
Chittenden, November 7, 1780, and chartered to Nathaniel Brush, David 
Avery, Rufus Montague and others, to the number of sixty-nine, August 20, 
1 78 1. None of the original grantees, however, except Rufus Montague, ever 
settled in the town. The charter deed conveyed an area of 23,040 acres, a

small portion of which was set oft" to Cambridge. November i, 1841. Aside 
from this it retains the same area to-day. 

The surface of Fletcher is broken and hilly, and even at some points moun- 
tainous, causing a considerable portion of land to be unfit for purposes of 
cultivation. These portions are in the minority, however, and even they are 
utilized as grazing land. Though there is much land that is capable of pro- 
ducing fine crops of grain, the principal industry of the inhabitants is devoted 
to dairying and stock raising. The soil, which is various, is watered by num- 
erous streams, the principal ones of which are Lamoille river, which forms the 
southern boundary of the town, and Stone's brook, which rises in the northern 
part of the town and flows a southwesterly course into Fairfax. Metcalf 
pond, a pleasant little sheet of water, lies in the northern part of the town. 
It is about one mile in length, by a half mile in width, and in some parts very 
deep. Its outlet is at the southern end, forming Dead creek, which flows a 
southwesterly course into Lamoille county. About a mile northwest of Fletcher 
village is another body of water called Halfmoon pond, because of its cres- 
ent shape, about half a mile long by a quarter of a mile in width. Its waters 
are discharged into Stone's brook. A number of good mill-sites are afforded 
throughout the township, though but few have ever been utilized. The geolog- 
ical structure of the town comprises rocks mostly of the talcose schist forma- 
tion, excepting the extreme western portion, which overlies a bed of talcose 
conglomerate. It also contains some beds of iron ore. The only notable 
natural curiosity of the territory is a large cave, with its entrance on a hillside 
just north of Metcalf pond. It has been penetrated to the depth of several 
hundred feet, though it has never been fully explored. Tradition has it that 
a fugitive from justice was once kept concealed in this cave for several weeks, 
being supplied with food daily by friends. The St. J. & L. C. R. R. extends 
across the eastern portion of the town, with a station at East Fletcher. 

In 1880, Fletcher had a population of 868, was divided into nine school 
districts, and contained ten common schools, employing three male and sixteen 
female teachers to whom was paid an aggregate salary of $850.10. There were 
190 pupils attending school, while the entire cost of the schools for the year 
ending October 31, was $1,059.00. I. R. Armstrong, was superintendent of 
schools. 

Fletcher, a post village located in the southern part of the town, contains 
one church (Union), two stores, a sap-bucket manufactory, and about fifteen 
dwellings. 

East Fletcher (p. o.), a hamlet and station on the St. J. & L. C. R. R., 
located in the eastern part of the town, contains two stores and about five 
dwellings. 

Binghamville, a hamlet located about three-quarters of a mile south from 
Fletcher, contains one church (Union), one saw-mill, a school-house and about 
twenty dwellings. 

Sylvanus E. Chase's sap-bucket ftiam/factory, located at Fletcher village, 
manufactures about 20,000 cedar sap-buckets per year. 



II2 TOWN OF FLETCHER. 



R. T. Binghatris saw-mill, located at Binghamville, does custom work, being 
operated only a portion of the year. The first settlement in Fletcher was 
commenced by John Fullington, who started for here with his family from 
Deerfield, N. H., in the fall of 1788, intending to locate in the southern part 
of the town near the Lamoille. Mr. Fullington, had been here the season pre- 
vious however, and built a log house, made a small clearing, etc., for the re- 
ception of his family. They pursued their journey without mishap until just 
within the town of Johnson, where they encamped for the night. Here Mr. 
Fullington indulged himself in a meal of raw turnips, which brought on a vio- 
lent fit of bilious colic, and there being no medical assistance to be had, he 
died in a few hours. Mrs. Fullington thus unexpectedly left a widow with 
four children dependent on her, proceeded to her new home in the wilder- 
ness, upon the farm now owned by Loren C. Lee, where she soon after gave 
birth to a daughter, the first child born in the town. She was named 
Lamoille, after the river upon whose banks she was born, and afterwards be- 
came the wife of Joseph H. Law, removed to Cambridge, and died there in 
July, 1880, aged ninety years. Mrs. Fullington subsequently married Elisha 
Woodworth, and lived to the age of ninety-five years, when she died of small- 
pox, in Fletcher. 

The second person to settle in the town was Lemuel Scott, in 1789. He 
came on from Bennington, in the dead of winter, making his way, with his 
wife and one child, on a sled drawn by a yoke of steers. From Burlington 
there was no road, and he found his way by means of marked trees. His 
children were Jonathan, Lemuel, Jr., (the first male child born in the town,) 
Seth, Levi, Abigail, Anna, Emily, Jefferson, and Wait. The next settler was 
Uea. Peter Thurston, who settled south of Lamoille river on the land after- 
wards set off to Cambridge. He was joined soon after by Elijah Daily. In 
1795, Daniel Baily, from Ware, N. H., settled with his family in the north- 
western part of the town. These men became prominent business men and 
lar^e land owners, the said Daniel Bailey becoming the first town represent- 
ative in the legislature. About this time, Elias Blair, Reuben Armstrong, 
John Kinsley, Samuel Church, Samuel Church, Jr., Joseph and James Robin- 
son, Dewey Nichols and John Kinsley, all from Bennington, located here. 
Other families came soon after so that in 1800, the town had a population of 
200. 

The town was organized and the first town meeting held, March 16, 1790, 
when Elisha Woodworth was elected town clerk ; Elijah Daily, constable • 
and Peter Thurston, Lemuel Scott and Elijah Daily, selectmen. The first 
justice of the peace was Levi Comstock, chosen in 1795. The first represent- 
ative was Daniel Bailey. The first physician was Dr. Sanford Emery, who 
located at Fletcher village in 1827, and Guy Kinsley was his first patient. 
He made but a short stay, however, and removed to Rochester, N. Y. He 
was succeeded by Dr. Swain, whose stay was also short, since which time the 
changes have been many, the present physician being Dr. M. S. Briggs. The

first particular demonstrations of a religious character were in 1817, when 
there was considerable interest manifested, and in the following spring 
a man named Joseph Wilcox, living in the southeastern part of Fairfax, 
established religious meetings, and preached in the school-house at Fletcher 
village once every two weeks for a year, during which time the Baptist church 
was organized. The first house of worship was erected upon the site of the 
present church at the village in 1830, and dedicated July 7, 183 1, being built 
by the Methodist, Congregational and Baptist societies. The first store 
opened was in 1820, by Zerah Willoughby, in a portion of his dwelling in the 
southern part of the town. In 1825, Lucas Lathrop and Levi Carlton 
opened a store at Fletcher village, and were succeeded by Hiram Hopkins. 
The first saw-mill was built by Elisha Woodworth, upon the site now occu- 
pied by R. T. Bingham's mill. The first attempt toward starting a grist-mill 
was in 183 1, when John and Jesse Carpenter erected one on Stone's brook; 
but the stream proved too small at that point to run a grist-mill, so the enter- 
prise was given up as unpracticable. The first postoffice was located at 
Fletcher village in 1832, with Elias Blair, postmaster. 

Joseph Robinson, born in Bennington, Vt., in November, 1776, came to 
Fletcher in 1795, and located upon the farm now owned by his son, Demas. 
He was twice married, having by his first wife one child, and by his second 
nine, seven of whom are now residents of the town. His second wife was 
the daughter of Rufus Montague, the only one of the original proprietors who 
settled here. Mr. Montague had one right of land, consisting of three lots of 
one hundred acres each. 

Daniel Bailey, from Ware, N. H., came to Fletcher in 1795, and located 
in the northwestern part of the town upon the farm now occupied by Ebene- 
zer Bailey. Mr. Bailey took an active interest and prominent part in the 
business affairs of the town, which he represented for the first time in the 
legislature. He had a family of eight children, four sons and four daughters. 
The sons settled upon adjoining farms, presented to them by their father, 
while the daughters, all except one, married and located near by. Many de- 
scendants of the family still are residents of the town. 

Daniel Kinsley, with his brother, Stephen, were the first settlers in Cam- 
bridge, Lamoille county, whence, after a few years' residence, they removed 
to this town. Daniel became the husband of Miss Lucy Montague, and died 
here in 1828. Lucy, his wife, died February n, 1850, lacking one hour of 
being eighty-five years of age. Of their family of twelve children only one, 
Guy, now remains in this town, residing on road 40, at the age of eighty-

jRANKLIN, a township lying in the center of the northern boundary 
of the county, in lat. 44 58', and long. 4 2', bounded north by St. 
Armand, P. Q., east by Berkshire, south by Sheldon, and west by High- 
gate, was granted by the State of Vermont, October 24, 1787, and chartered 
March 19, 1789, to Jonathan Hunt and five others, under the name of 
Huntsburgh. The grant was to contain the usual thirty-six square miles, 
but as the surrounding towns were first surveyed, it left for this town a tract of 
only 19,040 acres. The charter of the town, which is now in the possession 
of the town clerk, reads as follows : — 

" The Governor, Council, and General Assembly of the Freeman of the 
State of Vermont: — To all people to whom these presents shall come, greet- 
ing. Know ye that whereas the Honorable Jonathan Hunt, Esq., and his 
associates, our worthy friends, have by petition requested a grant of the land 
within this State for the purpose of settling a new plantation to be erected 
into a township ; We have therefore thought fit for the due encouragement of 
their' laudable designs, and for the other valuable causes and considerations us 
hereunto moving, do, by these presents, in name and by the authority of the 
Freemen of the State of Vermont, give and grant unto the said Jonathan 
Hunt and his associates and their heirs and assigns forever, the following 
tract of land hereinafter described and bounded, to be divided and holden 
by them respectively as follows : ***** That each proprietor 
shall cultivate five acres on each share, and shall build a house at least 
eighteen feet square on the floor, or have one family settled on each share 
within the time prescribed by the Statute laws of this State, or the land shall 
be forfeited and revert to the Freemen of the State. * * * * In testi- 
mony whereof we have caused the seal of this State to be affixed this 19th 
day of March, A. D., 1789, in the thirteenth year of the Independence of this 
State. 

" Thomas Chittenden. 
"By His Excellency's Command, 

" Joseph Fay, Sec'y." 



Il6 TOWN OF FRANKLIN. 



The town was divided into sixty-nine rights or shares, of which Jonathan 
Hunt received thirty-one ; Samuel Hubbard, eighteen ; Joseph Fay, seven ; 
John Bridgeman, four ; Hon. Ebenezer Walbridge, three ; Ebenezer Marvin, 
one, and one share each for the following five objects: For a college within 
the State, for county grammar schools throughout the State, for the first 
settled minister, for the benefit and support of the ministry, and for the 
benefit and support of the schools within the town. The name of Hunts- 
burgh was retained until October 25, 181 7, when it was changed by the 
legislature to the one it now bears. 

The surface of the land is uneven yet not abrupt, the only hills of any 
prominence being Bridgeman hill, west of the Center village, and Minister 
hill, lying about a mile north of the same. The soil is mostly a gravelly loam 
with an occasional mixture of clay and sand. In the western part are a num- 
ber of clay knolls, where brick was manufactured to some extent at one time. 
Taken all in all, the soil is generally good, though in most localities it is better 
adapted to grass than grain growing, so that many of the inhabitants are en- 
gaged in dairying and breeding grade cattle. The higher land was originally 
covered with a heavy growth of hardwood timber, mostly beech, birch and 
maple, while the low lands produced large quantities of hemlock and cedar. 
Much of this timber still remains, from the maple of which quantities of sugar 
is manufactured. Rock river, the principal stream, flows through the western 
part of the town, and together with several brooks, affords the only mill- 
power, and even this is meagre. Franklin pond, a small lake lying near the 
center of the town, has an average width of about one mile, and is three 
miles long. Its outlet, flowing northeasterly into Berkshire, affords a good 
water-power. Another small pond lies in the extreme eastern part of the 
town, surrounded by an extensive marsh. The geological structure of the 
territory is made up generally of two systems of rock, — talcose conglomerate 
and talcose schist, the former constituting the western, and the latter the 
eastern part of the town. Slate and limestone are occasionally found, and 
some small beds of quartz. Small quantities of hematite, a species of iron 
ore, have been discovered, and, in 1877, a small deposit of silver ore was 
found on the farm of L. Heffion, in the northern part of the town. The de- 
posit has never been thoroughly examined, however, so that its quality and 
quantity are not known. 

In 1880, Franklin had a population of 1,439, was divided into ten school 
districts, and contained eleven common schools, employing three male and 
twenty female teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary of $1,137.81. 
There were 385 pupils attending common schools, while the entire cost of the 
schools for the year ending October 31st, was $1,289.56. A L. Galusha was 
school superintendent. 

Franklin, a post village located in the central part of the town, contains 
three churches, (Congregational, Methodist and Roman Catholic,) one hotel, 
six stores, marble works, a carriage manufactory, and about fifty dwellings.

East Franklin, a post village located in the eastern part of the town, a 
station on the Canada Junction R. R., contains one church (Methodist), one 
store, a telegraph office, blacksmith shop and about fifteen dwellings. 

W. B. Doo litis saw, planing and shingle-mill, located on road 2 2, employs 
five men, and has a capacity for cutting 8,000 feet of lumber per day. 

J. L. Barker's blacksmith shop, is located on road \o\, where he does a 
general jobbing business. 

C. H. Mauley's cabinet shop, located at Franklin village, turns out all 
kinds of cabinet work. 

J. W. Austin, located on road 19, has a blacksmith shop where he does all 
kinds of work in his line. 

A. H. Shedd's saw-mill, located on road 16, has a capacity for cutting about 
6,000 feet of lumber per day. 

C. W. Bullice's saw and shingle-mill, located on Rock river, has the capa- 
city for manufacturing 5,000 feet of lumber and 8,000 shingles per day. 

C. W. Morgan 's grist-mill, located in the northern part of the town, has a 
capacity for grinding about 300 bushels of grain per day. 

The Franklin Academy was incorporated in 1849, and went into successful 
operation the following year. Mr. Smith was the first preceptor, since which 
time there have been many changes. The school is now under the able charge 
of Charles W. Gates. 

The first meeting of the proprietors was held at Bennington, Vt, on the 
day previous to the granting of the charter, March 18, 1789, when Ebenezer 
Wallbridge was chosen moderator, and Joseph Fay, clerk. The division of 
the land was made according to law, and some other business transacted. 
On June 12, 1792, a warning was issued for a meeting to be held October 
3, 1792, at the dwelling of Samuel Hubbard. In this meeting it was voted 
to make an allowance to those persons whose lots were covered by the pond, 
by allowing them a like quantity of land south and east of the pond. Jona- 
than Hunt, the principal grantee, and after whom the town was named, was a 
prominent man in the State, but never located in Franklin, he probably hav- 
ing entered the scheme as a mere speculation. 

The first settler in Franklin, was Samuel Hubbard. He was born at North- 
field, Mass., in 1765. In 1788, he came to Franklin with a surveying parly, 
and the following year he and five others procured the charter of the town, 
he retaining eighteen of the sixty-nine shares into which the township was 
divided. He left Northfield in March, 1789, with three hired men, one yoke 
of oxen, and one cow, and came by the way of Skeensboro, down the lake to 
Missisquoi bay, where he found a few settlers, and then came ten miles east 
of there, in this town, and selected the site now occupied by his son, J. H. 
Hubbard, where he commenced a clearing, sowed ten acres to wheat, and 
then returned to Northfield. In the following spring he again returned to 
Missisquoi bay, this time accompanied by his wife, whom he had married dur- 
ing the winter, and John Webster and his wife. They left their wives at the Bay

and came out to Hubbard's clearing, where they built a house and then 
returned for the women. Mr. Hubbard thus, with Mr. Webster's help, built 
the first house, he also subsequently built the first framed barn and first grist 
and saw -mill, and during his long life here won and retained the respect and 
confidence of all with whom he came in contact. He was blest with a family 
of six sons and four daughters, the ninth child being named Jonathan Hunt, 
after his uncle, the largest land holder in the town, and who was at that time 
Lieutenant-Governor of the State. J. H. was born in 1808, and now, at the 
age of seventy- four years, is the oldest native resident of the town. He relates 
with considerable pleasure the tale of a whipping he received when a boy, 
administered by his father with an elm switch, which now is a giant tree stand- 
ing opposite the corner of roads 5 and 6. It appears that a small elm sap- 
ling had been set out by the elder Hubbard, and that Jonathan, in childish 
sport, had pulled it up and was making it serve him as a horse. His father. 
however, took it from him, and, after using it to " dust his jacket" with, 
ordered him to replace it in the earth. This he accordingly did, and it stands 
to-day sixteen feet in circumference, a sentinel that only the combined forces 
of the elements can move. 

John Webster settled on land at the center of the town, where many of his 
descendants still resides. The settlement was soon increased by the advent 
of Samuel Peckham, David Sanders, John Bridgeman, and others, so that in 
1800, the town had a population of 280. 

The town was organized and the first town meeting held in 1793, Eben- 
ezer Sanderson chosen clerk, and Paul Gates, treasurer. No town records 
are in existence previous to 1802, so that a full list of the first officers can- 
not be given. The first representative was Samuel Peckham, chosen in 
1794. The first attorney was Ebenezer Marvin, Jr. The first birth was 
that of John, son of Samuel Hubbard, August 4, 179.1. The first marriage, 
November 29, 1792, by Samuel Peckham, Miss Zeruiah Spooner to Paul 
Gates. First death, Susannah, wife of Samuel Peckham, January 30, 1796. 
First cemetery was the one now adjoining Franklin village. First highway 
surveyed, the one leading south, from Samuel Hubbard's to some point on 
the Missisquoi river in Sheldon. John Webster kept the first mer- 
chandise for sale, composed of groceries, iron-ware, nails, etc., which he 
brought with him into town from New Hampshire. Thomas and Uri Foot 
kept store in a log building belonging to Samuel Hubbard; and Thomas 
erected the first building for this purpose about the year 18 10. The first 
military company was formed in 1808, with Samuel Hubbard, captain; 
Ephraim Joy, lieutenant ; Thomas Foot, ensign ; and William Felton, ser- 
geant. Clark Rogers settled early at Franklin village, where he built the 
first tavern stand. The first school was taught by Josiah Allen, about the 
year 1795. The first physicians were Ebenezer Marvin and Enoch Pomeroy. 
The first framed house was built by Dr. Marvin, and is still standing, on 
road 6.

;/^EORGIA, a lake town in the southeastern corner of the county, lying in 
< f|f' lat. 44 44' and long. 3 54', bounded north by St. Albans, east by Fair- 
W lax, south by Milton, in Chittenden county, and west by Lake Cham- 
plain, contains an area of thirty-six square miles, chartered by Governor 
Benning Wentworth, August 17, 1763, to Richard Emery and sixty Tour 
associates, with all the privileges, reservations, and conditions common to the 
New Hampshire grants. The town still retains its original area and irregu- 
lar trapezoid form, no changes ever having been made in its boundary lines. 
It was not long, however, before the original shares of the grantees began to 
change hands, and the usual land jobbing and jockying began. Ten years 
after the charter was issued, in the autumn of 1773, Levi Allen, of Salisbury, 
Ct., bought the interests of most of the original grantees, his purchases 
amounting to over fifty of the sixty-seven shares ; and at about the same time 
or during the next year, Heman Allen, Ethan Allen, and Remember Baker 
each bought a small interest. Ira Allen, however, subsequently became a 
principal proprietor, buying some part of Levi's interest and all of Heman's 
at private sale, but most of Levi's at public sale for taxes. There are on 
record in the town clerk's office over ninety deeds from Abraham Ives, a Rut- 
land county collector, to Ira Allen, and at a later date Caleb Henderson, a 
Chittenden county collector, deeded at one time forty-five shares to Ira Allen. 
It is said that this last sale was permitted because of some irregularity in the 
Ives transaction, and to perfect the title ; and, in proof of this, it is stated 
that at that time single lots were worth more than the forty-five shares

residents who had the means to make the purchase, had there been free and 
open competition. 

Georgia is one of the most beautiful towns in the county, having a gently 
rolling surface, with some prominent elevations from which a grand view of

the fine surrounding country and a glimpse at the blue waters of the beauty- 
teeming champlain may be obtained. The soil is mostly rich and productive, 
being sandy, in the southern part and the timber is principally pine. In the 
northern part it is a gravelly loom, and the timber mostly hardwood, yet there 
are some tracts timbered with hemlock, and some cedar swamps near the lake. 
The territory is well watered by numerous streams which contain some ex- 
cellent mill-sites. The only one of any considerable size, however, is the La- 
moille river, which flows a westerly course through the southern part of the 
town. In the northeastern part of the town there is a small body of water 
called Prospect pond, having an area of about forty acres. It is mostly sur- 
rounded by high lands, except a narrow outlet to the north. The rocks en- 
tering into the geological structure of the town are a bed of red sandrock in 
the western part along the lake shore, and a ledge of quartz rock in the east- 
ern part, between which is an immense bed of Georgia slate. Iron ore has 
been discovered to some extent, and some ledges of Swanton marble. The 
industrial element of the town is almost entirely devoted to farming and graz- 
ing, to which a decided impetus was gived by the building of the Central Ver- 
mont railroad, in 1847-50, which passes through the town from north to 
south with stations at East and North Georgia. 

In 1880, Georgia had a population of 1,504, was divided into fifteen school 
districts and contained fifteen common schools, employing two male and twen- 
ty-five female teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary of $1,735.22. 
There were 345 pupils attending common school, while the entire cost of the 
schools for the year ending October 31st, was 2,186.65, with J. G. Lorimer, 
superintendent. 

East Georgia, a post village and station on the C. V. R. R., contains one 
church (Episcopal), one store and postoffice, a creamery, etc. 

West Georgia (p. o.), a hamlet located near the center of the southern 
part of the town, contains a grist-mill, school-house, etc., and half a dozen 
houses. 

Georgia, a small post village located in the central part of the town, con- 
tains one store, hotel, church (Congregational), and about a dozen dwellings. 

Georgia Plain (p. o.), a hamlet located in the western part of the town, 
contains a store, postoffice, church (Baptist), and half a dozen dwellings. 

North Georgia is a hamlet and station on the C. V. R. R., located in the 
northern part of the town. 

Jewetfs tile manufactory, located on road 1, was established by E. Jewett, 
in 1857, and purchased by the present proprietor, E. T. Jewett, in 1862* 
The works have the capacity for manufacturing 600,000 tiles per year, though 
but about 300,000 are made. Mr. Jewett has also a cider-mill attached to his 
works, which is operated by steam power and has a large capacity. 

The Franklin Coimty Crea?nery, located on road 38, was established by Ed- 
ward J. Parker, in 1882. It has the capacity for receiving the milk from 
2,000 cows. It is operated on the " cream gathering " plan, the first of the 
kind in the State.

North Georgia Cheese Factory was established in 1870, and is new leased 
by Gardner Murphy & Co., of Boston, Mass. It has a capacity of thirty- 
three cheeses per day, using 11,700 lbs. of milk, besides making 200 lbs. of 
butter. 

William Farrand and family made the first permanent settlement in the 
town, though there had been many men without families here a portion of 
the year previous to that in which Ferrand made his settlement, which is sup- 
posed to have been in the spring of 1785, though there is no positive evidence 
as to the date. At about the same time Andrew Van Guilder, from Egre- 
mont, Mass., came into town, and for many years was erroniously accredited 
with being the first settler. Farrand resides in the northwestern part of the 
town, and VanGuilder in the southeastern, ten miles apart. Farrand was pres- 
ent at the organization of the town, in 1788, and was elected to office on that 
occasion. He was also the first man in Georgia to take the oath of allegiance 
to the State, February 23, 1789, but left town soon after, and removed to 
Lachine, Canada. On February 5, 1801, he quit-claimed his right to his im- 
provements here, in favor of Reuben Evarts, the deed being dated at Montreal. 
During his residence here, a son was born to Mr. Farrand, and named by Ira 
Allen, Georgia Farrand, Allen promising to give the boy one hundred acres 
of land in honor of the name, but it is believed he never kept his promise. 
VanGuilder, who is said to have been a very eccentric man of Indian extrac- 
tion, settled upon the south side of Lamoille river, where he owned 400 acres 
of intervale land, a portion of which remained in the possession of his descend- 
ants for a great many years. 

Whose was the third family that settled here is not known ; but tradition 
has it that when Judge Frederick Bliss moved here, in the spring of 1786, 
there were three families in the town who remained through the winter. It 
was customary for men to spend the summer here, and return during the win- 
ter to their homes in the southern part of the State, or in Massachusetts or 
Connecticut, and some quite large openings in the forest had been made and 
several buildings erected. These buildings, however, were but rude log struc- 
tures, as it is stated on undoubted authority that when Ruth Chaffee, wife of 
Solomon Goodrich, died, March 27, 1789, there were not boards enough in 
town to make a coffin, and no saw-mill to make them; so Thomas Terrence, 
a carpenter, felled a tree, split out suitable pieces, and with his broad-axe 
hewed them down into proper shape for a coffin. But about this time im- 
provements began to be made very rapidly and immigration was lively, so that 
in 1 79 1, at the taking of the first census, the town had a population of 340, 
and ten years later, in 1800, it had increased to 1,068. Notwithstanding this 
fact, however, the proprietors still continued to hold their meetings, loth to 
give up their control of the territory even though most of the land has passed 
out of their possession and the inhabitants were doing the town business and 
managing the public lands, in their corporate capacity, and strictly in accord- 
ance with the laws of the State. Their last meeting was held on the first 



TOWN OF GEORGIA. i 2 $ 

Monday in March, 1807, and the record-book was deposited in the town 
clerk's office, January 14, 1808. The first meeting of the proprietors was 
held at Salisbury, Conn., the record of which is as follows: — 

"Salisbury, March 23d, 1774. — Then the proprietors of the township of 
Georgia, a township lately granted under the great seal of the Province of 
New Hampshire, now in the Province of New York, met according to a legal 
warning in the Connecticut Courant, at the dwelling-house of Capt. Samuel 
Moor, Inn-holder in Salisbury, in Litchfield county, and Colony of Connecti- 
cut, in New England. 

1. Voted — That Heman Allen shall be moderator for this meeting. 

2. Voted — That Ira Allen shall be proprietors' clerk for said town. 

3. Voted — That we will lay out said town, and that every proprietor or 
proprietors may, on his own cost and charges, lay out all his right or rights as 
soon as he or they shall think proper. 

4. Voted — That the proprietors' clerk shall record all deeds of sales and 
survey bills in this book, when brought to hand, if paid a reasonable reward 
for the same, and all survey bills shall stand good that are first recorded or 
received to record without regard to the date of said survey bills. 

5. Voted — That this meeting be adjourned to Fortfraderick, in Colches- 
ter, on Onion river, to be held on the third of October next — Test. I. Allen 
Propr. Clk." 

The town was organized and the first town meeting held March 31, 1788. 
This meeting was warned by John White, assistant judge of Chittenden 
county, of which Georgia at that time formed a part. The warning was 
dated at Milton, March 12, 1788, although Judge White was at that time a 
resident of Georgia. James Evarts was chosen moderator ; Reuben Evarts, 
clerk; Stephen Davis, Stephen Holmes, and Richard Sylvester, selectman; 
Frederick Bliss, constable ; Solomon Goodrich, and Abel Pierce, haywards ; 
and William Farrand, Noah Loomis, and Stephen Fairchild, surveyors of 
highways. Just enough business was transacted to organize the town — the 
town clerk took the oath of office nearly two months after, and the selectmen 
not until three months after the town meeting. At the second town meeting, 
held March 19, 1789, John White was chosen moderator; Reuben Evarts 
town clerk ; John White, Stephen Holmes, and Francis Davis, selectmen 
John White, treasurer; Titus Bushnell, constable; Nathaniel Naramore 
Abraham Hathaway, and John W. Southmayd, listers ; Titus Bushnell 
collector of town rates; Noah Loomis, grand juror; Stephen Holmes, pound- 
keeper; Solomon Goodrich, tithingman ; and Daniel Stannard, hayward. 

The first representative of the town in the general assembly was James 
Evarts, in 1788. The first physician was Dr. Nathaniel Naramore, who was 
much esteemed, both as a physician and citizen. The first lawyer was Levi 
House, who represented the town in 1793. Among the early merchants of 
Georgia we find the names of Samuel Stannard, Jr., Bohan Shepard, Bushnell 
B. Downs, Nathaniel B. and Nathaniel M. Torrey, Joseph and Joshua Doane, 
James S. Allen, and Hezekiah and Erbon Wead. 

Several of the early settlers had fought in the war for Independence, and 
several had been actively engaged in the land title controversy. William

During the Canadian Rebellion of 1837, a company of militia from this 
town was in service on the frontier a short time, under the command of Capt. 
Caldwell. The town also contributed 141 men for the suppression of the 
rebellion of 1861, and twenty-six of the first young men of the town were 
killed, or died in Southern prisons of wounds, or from diseases contracted 
while in the service. During the troubles attending the dissatisfaction felt 
relative to the then existing state of the revenue laws, in 1807, an incipient 
riot occurred here, which has since been known as the Georgia or Smuggler's 
Riot. About one hundred persons, from this and surrounding towns, met for 
the purpose of opposing the custom officers' attempt to capture a party of 
smugglers. A slight skirmish ensued, but no lives were lost, and the rioters 
dispersed to their homes, of their own accord. 

Judge Frederick Bliss, from Williamstown, Mass., came to Georgia in 1786,

by its first rector, Rev. F. W. Smith, with ten members, in 1872. During 
that year the church building was erected, a wood structure capable of seat- 
ing 125 persons, and valued at $6,000.00. The society now has twenty-one 
members, with Rev. Gemont Graves, rector. 



fIGHGATE, one of the northern lake towns of the county, is situated in 
the northwestern corner of the same, in lat. 44 58' and long. 3 59', 
bounded north by the Canada line, east by Franklin, south by Sheldon 
and Swanton, and west by Missisquoi bay and Swanton. It was chartered 



I32 TOWN OF HIGHGATE. 



as a township to contain 23,040 acres by New Hampshire, August 17, 
1763, with all the restrictions and reservations common to these grants, which 
were to be complied with on penalty of forfeiture of the charter. The grant- 
ees, however, Samuel Hunt and sixty-three associates, never complied with 
these requirements, nor ever became residents of the town ; still, there seems 
never to have any trouble grown out of their delinquency. The land 
laid for a number of years with no attempt made towards its settlement, in di- 
rect violation to one of the requirements of the charter and the whole tract 
was several times sold for taxes, Ira Allen, of Colchester, having at one time 
owned the whole township. Several changes have been made in its boundary 
lines, so that it now contains much more than its original limits: November 
1, 1792, apart of Alburgh was annexed to it, and October 23, 1806, Marvin's 
Gore was annexed; but on November 3, 1836, a part of Highgate was in 
turn annexed to Swanton. 

The surface of the township is decidedly uneven, making a very picturesque 
landscape, and contains some points of view that are grand in the extreme- 
Along the Missisquoi river the land is considerably cut by deep ravines, 
while the northern half abounds in low hills, swamps and valleys, and in 
other portions extensive sand plains exist. One point of view, from the 
farm of Col. Dunton, off road 54, is often visited. From here the beholder 
traces a magnificent scene of mingled mountains, rivers, lakes, and well- 
cultivated farms. Towards the east may be seen the grim old Camel's 
Hump, Jay's Peak, and Mansfield, while in the dim, distant west, the Adi- 
rondacks appear beyond the blue expanse of Lake Champlain ; the course of 
the Missisquoi is traced for miles, until it is finally lost in a thread of silver 
veining the emerald land, while on a clear day the distant mount where lies 
the city of Montreal may be seen, forming in all a bird's-eye view that for 
beauty is rarely excelled. The soil is extremely varied, comprising nearly 
every variety. In one field there may sometimes be found sand, muck, marl 
or loam, and clay. In the center of the township, near the falls, the soil is 
largely composed of sand, the site of a once mighty pine forest. The original 
timber was mostly pine and hemlock, though the highlands contained some 
hard- wood varieties. All along the Missisquoi there existed immense forests 
of giant pines, perhaps the finest in the State, which, in times gone by, gave 
employment to large numbers in their manufacture into lumber. Nothing but 
the remnants of these forests are left now, however, marking the spot where 
their huge ancestors stood in years agone. The town is well watered by 
numerous streams, the principal ones being the Missisquoi and Rock rivers. 
The Missisquoi flows across a portion of the southern part of the town, turns 
south into Swanton, and finally turns north again and forms the western 
boundary line of the town. The falls on this river form one of the finest 
water-powers in the State. Rock river enters the northern part of the town 
from Canada, and flows a southwesterly course into Missisquoi bay. Eel 
brook rises in the southern part of the town and flows a northerly course into 



TOWN OF HIGHGATE.

Missisquoi bay. Saxe river rises near the central part of the town and flows into 
Rock river. Numerous other brooks exist, while two small ponds are found 
a little north of the center of the town, Cutler's and Proper pond, lying about 
three-quarters of a mile apart. 

The geological structure, like the soil, is extremely varied, the town having 
no less than seven distinct rock systems, or ledges, entering into its formation. 
These beds, like those of the whole State, lie parallel to each other, extend- 
ing through the town in a general north and south direction. On the west, 
entering from Swanton, is a ledge of Hudson river slates, lying next to a de- 
posit of Trenton limestone ; then follows a range of Hudson river limestone, 
next to which is a bed of red sandrock, then a range of Georgia slates, fol- 
lowed by a large vein of taleose conglomerate, and finally, comprising the res- 
idue of the town, a bed of taleose schist. The numerous divisions of these 
systems are too extended to mention at this point. No minerals, except iron, 
which was formerly wrought to a considerable extent, have been discovered. 
Mineral springs abound in different parts of the town, whose waters contain 
medicinal qualities that have made them famous. 

In 1880, Highgate had a population of 2,090, was divided into fourteen 
school districts, and contained fourteen common schools, employing six male 
and eighteen female teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary of $1,- 
485.60. There were 511 pupils attending common schools, while the entire 
cost of ths schools for the year ending October 31st, was $1,642.72, with 
Williams Keyes, superintendent. 

Highgate, a post village, is situated in the southern part of the town on 
the Missisquoi river. It contains one church (Episcopal), one store, and 
about forty dwellings. The natural advantages of this village are as good as 
any in the State. The falls at this point would afford power for numerous 
factories, and it seems strange that the village has not increased and become 
a thriving center. As it is, however, but little manufacturing is carried on. 

Highgate Center, a post village and station on the Missisquoi railroad, 
is situated in the southern part of the town. It contains three churches, 
(Meth, Cong., and Cath.,) one hotel, three stores, a public hall, three lawyers' 
offices, and nearly fifty dwellings. 

East Highgate (p. o.), a small village located in the southeastern part of 
the town, on the Missisquoi river, is a station on the St. J. & L. C. R. R. It 
has the command of a fine water-power, but contains comparatively few 
manufactories. The only ones of note are O. A. Rixford's scythe and axe 
works, Keenan's saw, shingle and cider-mill, and a sheepskin-leggins factory. 
Highgate Springs (p. o.), a hamlet near the eastern shore of Missisquoi 
bay, contains but the hotel and the buildings connected therewith. The 
postoffice is located there for the convenience of those visiting the springs, 
and for the farmers in the vicinity. The Franklin hotel, located at this place, 
was originally built by S. S. & S. W. Keyes, nearly fifty years ago. In 1868, 
it was purchased by Judson L. Scott, and kept by him as a summer resort for 



134 TOWN OF HIGHGATE. 



about nine years, when, in 1877, it was purchased by Messrs Davis & Pen- 
field, of Boston, and Mr. Spencer, of Burlington, and by them again leased to 
Mr. Scott. It has, in connection with the cottages adjoining it, accommo- 
dations for 125 guests. 

Champlain Hall Academy, located at Highgate, was established in 1877, 
"by Rev. Josiah Swett, D. D., rector of St. John's church. Here pupils are 
prepared for college or business, and instructed in the various branches of 
science, literature, and art. 

J. H. Bolac's marble works, located at the Center, employs several men in 
the manufacture of all kinds of marble goods. 

E. N. Sunderland's carriage and blacksmith shop, located at Highgate vil- 
lage, was established by the Messrs. Keyes nearly fifty years ago. Mr. Sun- 
derland employs six workmen, in the manufacture of a full line of goods. 

Horskins &* Hinert/i s foundry, located at Highgate village, employs twelve 
men in the manufacture of stoves and a general foundry business. 

Charles C. Sheldon's sheepskin boot manufactory, located on road 51, was 
established in 1880. He employs several persons in the manufacture of these 
useful articles. 

Bell&* Keenan's sa7ti, shingle, and cider-mill, located at East Highgate, has 
the capacity for manufacturing 3,000 feet of lumber and 6,000 shingles per 
day, in addition to a large amount of cider in its season. 

W. B. Skeele's marble works, located at Highgate Center, employs three 
men in the manufacture of all kinds of marble work. 

The first proprietors' meeting of which there is any record to be found, was 
forty-one years from the date of the grant, in 1804, at the dwelling of John Saxe, 
with Matthew Saxe, proprietors' clerk, and Shadrack Hathaway, moderator. 
After repeated adjournments from time to time, without accomplishing any 
important business, April 12, 1805, a committee of three were appointed to 
lay out, survey, and return a plan of the lots of 103 acres each, to each 
original share, in due form of law. Matthew Saxe, Levi Henderson and John 
Johnson were appointed that committee, and made their report at a subsequent 
meeting, having accomplished the business assigned them. Their charge for 
the survey of the first, second, and third divisions was $485.75, which was 
allowed by vote of the proprietors, no one opposing. A vote was also taken 
at this meeting to quiet the claims of the actual settlers. But few other pro- 
prietors' meetings were held, when the record ceases. 

The first settlement of the town was commenced in 1786-87, mostly by 
Dutch refugees who supposed they were settling in Canada, believing so until 
the establishment of the line between Canada and the United States. In 
1786, Joseph Reycard settled on the Canada line, John Hilliker on the Mis- 
sisquoi river, and Jeremiah Brewster and Thomas Butterfield on the west side 
of Rock river, near the lake shore. In 1787, they were joined by Conrad Barr, 
John Saxe, John Stinehour, John Sheltee, John Wilson, John Hogle, Michael 
and Peter Lampman, and Peter Wagoner. These were joined by others from

time to time, so that in 1791, the town had a population of 103, which, nine 
years later, in 1800, had increased to 437. In 1805, the town was regularly 
surveyed, and from that time up to 1820, made rapid strides in population, 
wealth and improvement. Previous to 1805, the settlements were mainly in 
the northwestern part of the town, where the town meetings were mostly 
held up to 1820, when a town meeting was called "at the school-house near 
Arwin P. Herrick's at Allen's Falls." The central village growing up around 
this beautiful waterfall was just beginning to have its influence in town, and 
from this date the town clerk's office was mostly at the Falls. The town was 
organized and the first town meeting held, March 31, 1791, when John 
Wagoner was chosen moderator ; Jonathan Butterfield, town clerk ; Isaac 
Aseltine and Minard Teachout, constables ; John Wagoner, Michael Lamp- 
man and John Hilliker, selectmen ; and Jacob Hilliker and Peter Lampman, 
fence viewers. 

The first children born in the town were Henry Stinehour, Abram Rey- 
card, and Catharine Sheltree, in 1787. The first grist-mill was built by John 
Saxe, in the northwestern part of the town, in 1787. The first death was 
that of Catharine, wife of John Saxe, in 1791. The first school was also 
established during this year, in a house on Conrad Barr's farm ; Thomas 
Thorp, from Baltimore, Md., taught in 1792-93. Andrew Potter built the 
first saw-mill in 1797, at Highgate Falls, and a grist-mill soon after. Conrad 
Barr, and W. Moulte built the first framed barns and Matthew Godfrey and 
Peter Saxe kept the first store, in 1801. The first framed houses were built 

in 1802, by Elijah Rood, on the Missisquoi river, Newcomb, at Highgate 

Springs, and Conrad Barr, near Saxe's mills. The first physician was Dr. 
Joseph B. Cutler, who located here in 1 806, and lived in the town until his death, 
in 1 86 1. The first furnace was built by Abel Drury, in 1807. Thomas Best 
built the first brick house, in 181 1. Jonathan London was the first tanner. 
Nehemiah Sabin and John Clough were the first blacksmiths. The first mar- 
riage on record was that of Isaac and Sally Aseltine, January 14, 1800, by 
Sylvester Cobb, justice of the peace. On March 19, of the same year, An- 
drew Wilson and Rachel Wilson were married by Matthew Saxe, justice of 
the peace. The first representative was John Knickerbocker, in 1792. 

A militia company was early established in the town, over which the follow- 
ing named were respectively appointed as captain : Timothy Winter, Jacob 
Croy, Conrad Saxe, Luther Meigs, Lumas Meigs, Franklin Hollenbeck, Wil- 
liam Hilliker, Jerahmill Cumins, Jacob McGowen, Elisha Barr, J. S. Jenison, 
Hannibal Sheltus, and Harvey Hyde, and Lorenzo G. Pomeroy, brigadier-gen- 
eral. During the war of 181 2, Conrad Saxe was captain of the second com- 
pany of the first regiment, and first brigade of detached militia. This second 
company was raised from the towns of Highgate, Swanton, St. Albans, Georgia, 
Milton, and Westford. The number from Highgate was eleven, as follows: 
Chester Miller, David Stickney, Samuel Hubbell, Moses Martindale, David 
Herrick, Nathaniel Johnson, John Carmon, Henry Chappell, David Moore, 



136 TOWN OF HIGHGATE. 



David Sagar, and Peter Brewer. This company were detached for six to nine 
months and served out their time at Swanton Falls in 181 2. The commissioned 
officers of the company were Capt. Conrad Saxe, Lieut. Heman Hoyt, and 
Ensign Heman Blanchard. Capt. Saxe, at the time of the battle of Platts- 
burgh, raised a company of volunteers, principally from Highgate, and started 
for the battle-ground, but failed to get a passage from Grand Isle until after 
the battle was over. The quiet of the town has also been disturbed at several 
times by skirmishes with smugglers, and by troubles in Canada, but nothing 
to amount to anything. During the last great war. Highgate promptly and 
cheerfully furnished six commissioned officers and 187 enlisted men, thirty- 
two of whom were killed or died from wounds, or diseases contracted in the 
service. 

John Saxe was born in Saxony, Germany, in 1733. He married Catharine 
Weaver, of Rhinebeck, N. Y., and settled in Highgate in 1787, where he 
raised a family of eight sons and one daughter. He built the first grist-mill, 
on a small stream since called Saxe's brook. It is said he intended to build 
it on the river, but there were not men enough in the county to dam the 
stream. The mill-stones were dressed from rough stones found in the vicinity. 
His sons, Matthew, Peter, and Jacob, opened a store near the mill, where 
they did a successful business for many years. A small settlement soon grew 
up about the locality, which received the name of Saxe's Mills, and here the 
first postoffice was established. Here, also, was born Charles J. Saxe, John 
G. Saxe, the poet, now residing at Albany, N. Y., Peter, Jr., now of San 
Francisco, Cal., and James Saxe, of St. Albans. John Saxe, the founder of 
the family, died in 1808, aged seventy-five years.

and then went into business at Swanton, where he remained about fifteen 
years, then returned to Highgate, and carried on a tannery here until 1833. 
He then gave up that business and carried on the hotel at Highgate for five 
years, then established the Stinehour Hotel at Highgate Center, which is now 
occupied by two of his daughters. His family consisted of one son and three 
daughters, all now residents of the town, where their father and grandfather

jIl^ONTGOMERY is a mountainous town lying in the extreme eastern 
part of the county, in lat. 44' 52', and long. 4 23', bounded north by 

# Richford, east by Westfield and Lowell, in Orleans county, south by 
Avery's Gore and a small portion of Eden and Belvidere, in Lamoille county, 
and west by Enosburgh and Avery's Gore. It originally contained an area of 
23,040 acres, or a square whose sides were each six miles in length, and was 
granted by the State, March 13, 1780, to Stephen R. Bradley, Rev. Ezra 
Stiles, John Graham, and others to the number of sixty-four, though it did 
not receive its charter until October 8, 1789. Its area was changed, however, 
in 1859, by having annexed to it a tract of about 7,000 acres from Avery's 
Gore and Lowell. 

The surface of Montgomery is wild and rugged in most parts, though it 
has some fine broad intervales along the several streams. The mountains do 
not rise to any considerable height except in the northeastern part of the 
town, where Jay Peak, lying partly in Jay and Westfield, pierces the clouds 
at an altitude of 4,018 feet, being the next in altitude to Camel's Hump. 
Notwithstanding the approach to the mountain is inconvenient and its ascent 
extremely difficult, many people visit its summit each season to obtain a 
glimpse of the magnificent view it affords. It does not give so grand a pros- 
pect of the Champlain valley as may be obtained from Camel's Hump, yet the 
observer is compensated for this deprivation in the more extended views

afforded in the valleys of the St. Lawrence, Ottawa, and Lake Memphremagog. 
To the northwest lies the level and fertile country surrounding Montreal, con- 
trasting beautifully with the wild and rugged scenery to the north and north- 
east, where are thickly-studded mountain peaks, prominent among which are 
Sutton and Orford mountains, Sugar Loaf, and Owl's Head. While between 
the beholder and Sutton Mountain, in Canada, is the deep valley of the Miss- 
isquoi, which, like the Winooski and Lamoille, winds its way through a valley 
about 3,500 feet below the summits of the mountains on either side. Nearer 
its base may be seen the beautiful villages of Montgomery, Richford, Berk- 
shire, and those of other thriving towns. The soil of Montgomery varies, as 
is the case with that of all highland towns. The valleys and intervales are 
rich and productive, while the mountains and hill-slopes afford pasturage for 
herds and flocks, making the town, therefore, valuable both as a farming and 
grazing territory. The town is well watered by numerous streams, yet the only 
one that flows from the town is Trout river, which is formed by the union of 
South and East branches, about half a mile west of the center of the town 
and thence flows a northwesterly course into Enosburgh. It forms the river 
basin of the town, as all the other streams are tributary to it. Many excellent 
mill-sites are afforded, several of which are in use. The principal rock enter- 
ing into the geological formation of the town is talcose schist. This is cut, in 
the western part, by a long, narrow ledge of clay slate, extending the whole 
length of the town. In the eastern part of the territory is a large bed of 
gneiss, extending from Avery's Gore through into Richford. In the southern 
part of the town there is a considerable deposit of serpentine. No minerals of 
any value have been discovered. 

In 1880, Montgomery had a population of 1.643, was divided into ten 
school districts and contained ten common schools, employing two male and 
fifteen female teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary of $1,206.35. 
There were 473 pupils attending common school, while the entire cost of the 
the schools for the year was $1,335.10, with W. B. Davis, superintendent. 

Montgomery, a post village located in the northwestern part of the town, 
on Trout river, contains two churches (Episcopal and Methodist), one hotel 
two stores, saw-mill, tannery, grist-mill, butter-tub factory, one tin shop, three 
blacksmith shops, three wheelwright shops, one lawyer, one physician, and 
about 250 inhabitants. 

Montgomery Center, a post village located in the central part of the 
town, contains two churches (Baptist and Congregational), one hotel, two 
stores, saw-mill, butter-tub manufactory, two blacksmith shops, one physician, 
and about two hundred inhabitants. 

H. E. Lewis's saw and grist-mill and butter tub manufactory, located on 
Trout river, was built in 1878. The works give employment to twenty men, 
manufacturing 100,000 butter tubs and 600,000 feet of lumber per year. 
The grist-mill has one run of stones and does custom work. 

J. P. Lamberts saw, planing, and clapboard-mill, located on a branch of

The first permanent settlement in Montgomery was made by Joshua Clapp, 
in March, 1793. Mr. Clapp was a Revolutionary officer from Worcester 
county, Mass. He took up a large tract of land, lying on both sides of the 
river, in the northwestern part of the town. Here he built a log house upon 
the bank of the stream, which subsequently gave place to a more pretentious 
building, the first framed house built in the towi., and which is still standing 
in a good state of preservation. Mr. Clapp had a family of eight children, 
six of whom arrived at the age of maturity. His son, Joel, was the first child 
born in the town, September 14, 1793. Only two of the children now are 
living, Joshua, Jr., and Mrs. Eliza Hamilton. Joshua, Jr., born in 1805, has

been town clerk twenty-nine consecutive years, represented the town four 
times, and has been a member of the senate twice. He was the first native 
of the town sent to the general assembly. His father built the first saw and 
grist-mill, and was also the first town representative. Jcshua, Sr., died in

About the year 1795, Samuel Barnard, Reuben Clapp, and James Upham, 
from Massachusetts, were the next families to follow Capt. Clapp, with the 
exception of a man by the name of Collar, who settled for a short time on a 
rocky hill, still known as Collar Hill. He, however, soon left, after having

IpJilCHFORD, located in the northeastern corner of the county, in lat. 44 
*f€f 57', and long. 4 24', bounded north by the Canada line, east by Jay, in 
W Orleans county, south by Montgomery, and west by Berkshire, was 
chartered by Vermont, March 13, 1780, to Jonathan Wells and fifty-nine 
others. The tract was to contain an area of 23,040 acres, bounded as fol- 
lows: — 
10 



I46 TOWN OF RICHFORD. 



i; Beginning at the northeast corner of the township of Berkshire, being the 
north line of this State, then east in said line six miles ; then southerly on 
such point as to gain six miles on a perpendicular from said line of the State ; 
then west parallel with said State-line to the southeasterly corner of said 
Berkshire ; then northerly in the eastern line of said Berkshire, to bounds 
begun at, and will contain the contents of six miles square and no more." 

This area, however, was somewhat increased, as the town was surveyed by 
General Whitelaw, of Ryegate, in 1795, who ran the town lines, and most of 
the ranges north and south, making corners from measurement. The south line 
varies from the charter, in following the Montgomery line to the corner, which 
is 150 rods south of Berkshire corner, thus making more than six miles square. 

In surface, Richford is very mountainous and uneven, thus having a great 
deal of land that is unarable and not fit for purposes of cultivation, though 
even this seemingly waste land is valuable on account of the timber it con- 
tains. As a whole, however, the township is well adapted to agricultural pur- 
poses, having a large amount of land with a warm productive soil, the inter- 
vales along the Missisquoi river being especially productive. The soil is 
various, containing in different places clay, loam, muck and some sand and 
gravel. More attention is given to stock raising and dairying, than to 
grain raising. The timber is principally hemlock, spruce, beech, birch, bass- 
wood, ash and maple, from the latter of which a large amount of sugar is 
usually made. The hill-sides, from their numerous springs, give rise to several 
streams, affording a number of excellent mill-sites. The Missisquoi river, 
which flows across the northern part of the town from east to west, forms the 
principal water-course, and into it flow most of the smaller streams of the 
territory, none of which, however, are of large size. The South Eastern 
Township's railway passes through the northern part of the town, with stations 
at Richford village and East Richford, and at the former village is joined by 
the Missisquoi railroad, from St. Albans. The rocks of the town are princi- 
pally of the talcose schist formation, though there are some small beds of 
limestone, and in the southern part some minor deposits of gneiss and clay 
slates. No minerals of any value, except copper, have been discovered. 

In 1880, Richford had a population of 1,818, was divided into nine school 
districts, and contained twelve common schools, employing three male and 
twelve female teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary of $1,687.17. 
There were 424 pupils attending common schools, while the entire cost of the 
schools for the year ending October 31st, was $2,053.00, with J. H. Hamil- 
ton, superintendent. 

Richford, a post village and station on the South Eastern Townships rail- 
way, and the eastern terminus of the Missisquoi railroad, is located in the north- 
eastern part of the county on the Missisquoi river. The village was incor- 
porated by an act of the legislature, approved November 21, 1878, and was 
organized under said act in 1S79. It contains four churches, (Methodist, 
Catholic, Baptist, and Advent,) a bank, four hotels, about twenty stores, a 
grist-mill, saw-mill, marble shop, two harness shops, three blacksmith shops, 
a tub factory, planing-mill, and about 750 inhabitants. 



TOWN OF RICHFORD. 147 



East Richford (p. o.), a small post village and station on the South East- 
ern Townships railway, is located in the northeastern part of the town, on 
the Missisquoi river. During the war of 1812, fifty soldiers were stationed 
here for a time, to guard the Canadian frontier. 

The Richford Savings Bank and Trust Co., located at Richford village, 
was chartered and commenced operations in February, 1875, with a capital 
of $50,000.00, E. H. Powell, president, and S. P. Carpenter, treasurer. 

The Richford Academy, located at Richford village, has a fine two-story 
building, with rooms and accommodations for 200 students. The present 
building was erected in 1 87 1, at a cost of $5,000.00. The school employs 
four teachers, and has, on an average, about 150 pupils. 

Gorham F. Smith's planing-mill, located near the province line, is oper- 
ated by a seventy-five horse-power engine, and has three planers, two of 
which are planers and matchers combined, one re-sawing machine, and six 
saws for slitting, etc. It employs nineteen men and finishes 250,000 feet of 
lumber per week. 

Z. Baker & Co.'s steam grist and planing-mill, located at the village, 
handles about 6,000,000 feet of lumber per annum, and grinds 35,000 bushels 
of grain. They have one planing and matching machine, through which 
15,000 feet of timber is dressed and matched daily, and one planer which 
planes 35,000 feet during the same time. The firm employs fourteen hands. 

White, Clarkson 6° Co.'s steam saw-mill, located at East Richford, is oper- 
ated by a 150 horse power engine, employs eighteen men, and manufactures 
2,000,000 feet of lumber per annum, most of which is spruce and hemlock. 
The firm has also a timber yard located near the Province line, where about 
twenty men are employed in the shipment of lumber, 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 
feet of which is handled annually.

1859, and operated by him until 1878, when it came into the present owner's 
possession. 

C. P. Stevens &* Co.'s mill, located on road 16, is operated by water- 
power, has one large lumber saw, one planer, one matcher, one clapboard ma- 
chine, and a complete set of box machinery. It employs thirty men and 
manufactures 4,000,000 feet of lumber annually. 

William B. Willard &* Son's steam saw-mill, located on road 23, corner 
road 22, is operated by a twenty-five horse-power engine, employs four men, 
and cuts 200,000 feet of lumber per year.

power and cuts 200,000 feet of lumber annually. 

Lewis &> Colcord's steam saw-mill, located on road 25, is operated by a 
forty horse-power engine, employs twenty men and manufactures 2,000,000 
feet of lumber per annum. They have also machinery for preparing the lum- 
ber for market, and also manufacture staves and shingles. 

The first permanent settlers in Richford were Hugh Miller, who came here

in 1795, and located upon the farm now owned by Cassius Miller, Capt. Bar- 
nett upon the farm now the property of S. P. Carpenter, and Joseph Stan- 
hope upon the farm now owned by H. S. Stanhope. Hugh Miller came on, 
from Bradford, Vt., in March, 1795, with his wife, eight children, and three 
sons-in-law. Here, upon the farm mentioned, they camped, and soon after 
erected log cabins and began in earnest the life of pioneers. The sons-in-law 
were Robert Kennedy, Theophilus Hastings, and Benjamin Barnet, who mar- 
ried the three oldest girls, Hannah, Catharine, and Amy. The other children 
were three young men, James, Jacob, and Daniel, and two younger girls, 
Mary Ann, and Ruth. James Miller, sometime later, settled in Canada, about 
three miles up the river. Jacob married Saloma Nutting, daughter of Capt. 
Nutting, of Berkshire, and lived and died in this town. Daniel married Anna, 
daughter of Rowland Powell. He became a Custom House officer, and died 
from the effects of an affray in Hyde Park, in 18 10, leaving a widow and five 
small children, — Patty, Anna, Fanny, Madison, and Marvin. Capt. Barnet 
and Robert Kennedy moved to Canada about the year 181 2. Hugh Miller, 
on hearing of the death of Daniel, had a shock of paralysis and lived but 
twenty days. He was buried on the hill near which he lived and died. 
Theophilus Hastings, a strong and useful man, died of nose-bleed, leaving his 
widow with several small children. Mrs. Hugh Miller, a christian woman, 
possessed of great energy and endurance, had considerable skill as a doctress. 
She survived her husband ten years, living with her son Jacob, and died in 
1820. 

The first settlers in the southern part of the town were Asa Morris, Edward 
Morris, Rosel Allen, Nathan Allen, Ira Allen, Levi Alien, James Dwyer, and 
Hezekiah Dwyer. Among the early settlers in other parts of the town were 
the following : Jonathan Carpenter, Sr., Jonathan Carpenter, Jr., Stephen 
Carpenter, and Phineas and Roger Wright upon the farm now owned by Har- 
low Sears ; Cyrus Davis, upon the farm now owned by Byron Davis; Ephraim 
Corliss, upon the farm now owned by William Puffer ; William Gross, upon 
the farm occupied by Jason Gross ; Jonathan Fletcher, from Troy, Vt., who 
settled upon the William Gross farm ; Livi Gross, upon the present Gilbert 
R. Gross farm ; Levi Webster, upon the farm now owned by the heirs of 
Levi Webster. In 1800, when the first census of the town was taken, it had 
a population of thirteen, and ten years later, at the taking of the next census 
its population had increased 440. 

The proprietors met from time to time, and transacted the usual business 
of such bodies ; but much trouble having arisen between them and the actual 
settlers, a final meeting was held at the house of Joseph Blaisdell, in 1822, 
the town having just received are-survey by Joseph Beeman, of Fairfax, when 
matters were so arranged as to give good titles and quiet the setters in pos- 
session of their lands. The town was organized and the first town meeting 
held, agreeable to a warning issued by Stephen Royce, of Berkshire, at the 
house of Jonathan Janes, March 30, 1799, when Stephen Royce was chosen 



TOWN OF RICHFORD. 



149 



moderator; Charles Wells, town clerk; Jonathan Janes, Daniel Janes, and 
Robert Kennedy, selectmen ; Stephen Carpenter, Jared Farnham, and Brad- 
ford Powell, listers; and Theopilus Hastings, collector and constable. The 
first freemen's meeting was held on the first Tuesday in September, 1799, 
when the whole number of votes cast were eleven, — unanimous for Isaac 
Tichenor for governor, and for Paul Brigham, lieut.-governor. Jonathan 
Janes was also elected the first representative of the town at this meeting. 
Dr. John Huse was elected town clerk in 1830, which office he held until 
1846, when his son-in-law, Silas P. Carpenter, was elected to the position, 
holding the office until 1879, wnen his son, J. H. Carpenter, the present 
incumbent, succeeded him, thus making fifty-two consecutive years that the 
office has been retained in the family. The first birth was that of Seymour, 
son of Theophilus Hastings. The first sermon preached in the town was 
delivered by Bishop Hedding, in 1802, at the residence of Mrs. Hugh Miller. 
The land upon which the old village cemetery is situated was given to the 
town by Stephen Blaisdell, and Hezekiah Goff, Jr., was the first person buried 
therein. The first framed barn was built by Joseph Stanhope, upon the farm 
now owned by H. S. Stanhope. The first store was kept by a Mr. Foote. The 
first settled minister was William Rogers, a Baptist clergyman, who drew the 
ministerial lot consisting of 350 acres, 250 of which he gave to the town 
towards supporting the common schools. The first saw-mill and grist-mill 
were built by Hezekiah Goff, on the stream just below the present McCarthy 
saw-mill. 

Joseph Stanhope, from Guilford, Conn., came to this town in 1796, with 
his family, which consisted of a wife and six children, and made the first 
settlement on the farm now owned by H. S. Stanhope. The nearest mill was 
then at Fairfield, a distance of thirty miles, Joseph was a blacksmith, and a 
short time after his settlement he built a frame house in which he kept the 
first hotel in the lown. On the inside of the cover of an old account book is 
the following verse written by him : — 

'* Joseph Stanhope is my name, 
And English is my nation ; 
Sudbury is my native place, 
And Christ is my salvation." 

Mrs. Stanhope died in T829, and was buried on the old homestead, where, 
after a few years, her husband was laid beside her. 

Joseph Parker, from Vergennes, is said to have driven the first yoke of oxen 
into the town, and located upon the farm now owned by A. M. Noyes. The 
only representative of the family now living here is a grandson, L. R. Parker. 
Sterling Parker, son of Joseph, kept a store a long time nearly opposite the 
site now occupied by J. S. Daley's store. 

James Flint, of Canaan, N. H., settled just across the line in Canada, in 
1800. where he died in r8n. In 1822, the family moved into Richford, 
where they have since resided. Freeman, son of James, resides on road 19. 



150 TOWN OF RICHFORD.

Plattsburgh, and after the close of the war returned to Tunbridge, whence, 
in 1 81 8, he came to this town and made the first settlement upon the farm 
now owned by his son, William B., with whom he now makes his home, being 
the only pensioner of 1812 living in the town. 

Ebenezer Dunham was born at Plymouth, Mass. His parents both died

in the battle of Bennington. After the war closed he married a Miss Eunice 
Scott and settled in the town of Sheldon, where he kept a tavern, upon the 
site of the present Methodist church at East Sheldon, and practiced medicine 
at the same time, until 1800, when he located in Berkshire, the first settler 
on the farm now owned by Hanson Yaw. He had a family of five children, 
of whom Benjamin, of this town, and Mrs. Fanny McCarty, of Berkshire, 
are the only ones living in the county. 

The following is the roll of Capt. Follett's company, of Richford, on duty

For the late war of 1861, the town furnished two commissioned officers and 
129 enlisted men, twenty of whom were killed, or died from disease or 
wounds, before their terms of service expired. 

Among those who were wounded during the Shenandoah Valley campaign, 
was Henry E. Bedell, who went out as second lieutenant of Co. D., nth 
Regt. Mr. Bedell was then twenty-eight years of age, a man of splendid 
physique. He sustained the loss of a limb, from an unexploded shell crash- 
ing through it at the knee, necessitating amputation of the mangled member 
at the upper third. The army was obliged to advance, but the wounded offi- 
cer was in too critical a condition to be moved, and consequently was obliged 
to remain, left to the tender mercies of the rebel population. When just upon 
the point of death, having been left in a garret upon a pile of straw for nearly 
a week, with no food or water, a rebel officer's wife learned of his pitiable 
condition, and with the noble-heartedness of her sex, resolved to do what she 
could to ameliorate his sufferings. She had him removed to her own house, 
gradually nursed him back to life, and, though struggling with poverty herself, 
managed, with the utmost heroism, to care for him until he was able to escape 
through the lines and start for his Vermont home. In the meantime, Bedell 
had promised to do his utmost to obtain the release of her husband, who was 
retained as a prisoner by the Union army at Johnson's Island. In company 
with the noble woman he sought and obtained an order for the release of the 
rebel officer. After much trouble and anxiety the husband was restored to 
the heroine and the whole party were soon resting in the dwelling of Bedell

among the hills of Richford. The families, as may be believed, have since 
been the closest friends, and each year Mr. and Mrs. Van Metre leave their 
Southern home and spend a few weeks with Mr. Bedell, when the "veterans 
of the blue and the gray " live over again their mutual sufferings, trials, and 
escapes. 

The Methodist Episcopal Church of Richford. — The First Methodist sermon 
preached in Richford was delivered by Elijah Hedding, afterwards Bishop 
Hedding. Twenty-three years later, in 1825, the Bishop held a series of re- 
vival meetings here and formed a class. This was connected with the Sheldon 
circuit for a time, and subsequently with the Franklin, Berkshire, and Mont- 
gomery circuits; but finally, in 1861, it was united with the East Berkshire 
circuit, and Rev. B. F. Livingston appointed pastor, with his home at Rich- 
ford, and here a good parsonage was completed for him the following year. 
Up to this time the society had worshipped in the Union building. The 
present edifice, a neat structure capable of seating 350 persons, was com- 
menced in 1871, and completed the following year, costing $8,144.53. The 
society now has a membership of 180, with Rev. Frank H. Roberts, pastor. 

The Second Advent Millennial Association, or Advent Church, located at 
Richford village, was organized by Dea. Russell Smith and others, to the 
number of about sixty, in 1858, with Rev. S. S. Garvin as their first pastor. 
The church building, erected in 1871, will seat 400 persons, and cost 
$9,300.00. The society now numbers fifty members, with Rev. F. H. Pea- 
body, pastor. 

The Richford Village Baptist Church was organized by its first pastor, 
Rev. M. G. Smith, March 26, 1872, with twenty-three members. The 
church building, erected in 187 1, is a wood structure, owned and used alter- 
nately by this church and the Advents. The society now has eighty-one 
members, with Rev. J. T. Buzzell, pastor. 

All Saints Roman Catholic Church, located at Richford village, was or- 
ganized in 1874, by the Rt. Rev. L. De Goesbriand, with 100 members, and 
Rev. J. Brelivet, the present incumbent, appointed pastor. The church 
building, which will seat 250 persons, and cost $1,264.00, was erected during 
the same year. The society now numbers about 300 members. 



^G^HELDON is a pentagonal shaped town located in the central part of the 
*f|f county, in lat. 44 54'. and long. 4 5', bounded north by Franklin and 
W Highgate, east by Enosburgh, and south and west by Fairfield and 
Swanton. It contains an area of 23,040 acres, originally granted to Samuel 
Hungerford and sixty-four associates, under the name of Hungerford, by 
Benning Wentworth, the colonial governor of New Hampshire, Auguat 18, 
1763. Samuel Hungerford was a native of Connecticut, as was most of the 
other grantees, among whom was a Quaker family by the name of Field. In 
the course of time this family bought not only Hungerford's share, but the

rights of most of the others, so that nearly the whole town belonged to 
" Daddy '•' Field, as the patriarch was called, and to Timothy Rogers, of Fer- 
risburgh, who was one of the town's first surveyors. From them it was pur- 
chased by Samuel, George, and Elisha Sheldon, and the name changed to the 
one it now bears, November 8, 1792. 

The surface of the township is pleasantly diversified by broad valleys and 
gentle rolling uplands, while the scenery, both in and around it, is charming. 
The surrounding mountain view is varied and beautiful from all parts of the 
town. About fifteen miles distant to the northeast, in Canada, is the Pin- 
nacle, a single bold spur of the Green Mountains, which is much visited, 
while Dunton's Hill, only two miles north of the springs, gives a view which 
for extent and interest is hardly surpassed. Montreal and the mountains 
beyond may be seen distinctly on a clear day, seventy to eighty church steeples 
counted, and the whole country from the Adirondacks round to the eastern 
range of the Green Mountains, with all of its variety of beautiful scenery, is 
spread out like a picture before the observer. The soil, too, of Sheldon, is 
unsurpassed. Along the streams and in the valleys are broad alluvial 
meadows, while the uplands have a fine soft loam, all capable of yielding 
crops of rare excellence. The higher lands are timbered with ash, beech, 
birch, maple, oak, etc. In the valleys and bordering upon the streams, where 
they remain uncleared, are tracts of valuable pine and hemlock, with a mix- 
ture of butternut, elm and other soft woods. The pine tract predominates in 
the western part of the town, where the soil is lighter and less productive. 
The principal streams of the town are Missisquoi River, Black creek, and 
Tyler's branch. The Missisquoi flows across the whole length of the town, 
from east to west. Black creek joins it from the south, near the central part 
of the town, and Tyler's branch unites with it in the eastern part of the town. 
There are other streams throughout the township, but of minor importance. 
Many excellent mill-sites are afforded, some of which have been improved. 

Geologically, there are four distinct general formations of rock crossing 
the town from north to south, with strikes almost parallel. The most west- 
ern of these is a range of Georgia slates, next to which is a bed of quartz rock 
then a ledge of talcose conglomerate, while the rest of the town overlies an 
immense bed of talcose schist. In the western part marble formations exist, 
containing some quarries that bid fair to develop into considerable value. 
On the farm of S. S. F. Carlisle, on road 18, there is a quarry of beautiful 
pink and white marble, which is said to be equal to any found in Italy. In 
different parts of the town, mineral springs have been discovered, whose 
waters are said to be excellent for all cutaneous difficulties, and to be espe- 
cially beneficial to those afflicted with cancer. The first of these was dis- 
covered by Moses Kimball and Eleazer Draper, about sixty years ago, and 
for many years was known as Kimball spring, but which is now known as 
Sheldon spring, and about which quite a village has grown up. In 1868, S. S. 
F. Carlisle and Dr. S. S. Fitch erected a fine hotel here, the Congress Hall, 



154 TOWN OF SHELDON. 



which was opened in 1869. The building is four stories in height, 123x96 
feet, and furnished throughout in excellent style. The hotel is now under 
the management of Mr. A. E. McLean, a gentleman of large experience in 
this line of business. The house is a very popular resort. Iron ore in con- 
siderable quantities also exists in the town. As early as 1798, a furnace for 
smelting the ore was built here, by Israel and Alfred Keith, who came here 
for that purpose from Pittsford, Vt. It was located on the east side of Black 
creek, where it was operated until 1822 or '23, and then rebuilt on the oppo- 
site side of the stream. Here it was kept in operation for a number of years, 
but finally abandoned. The principal article manufactured here from the 
iron was potash kettles. And as this was one of the first furnaces enacted 
in the State, the demand for this ware became quite active, as at that time 
one chief industry throughout the country was the manufacture of potash. 
Men came to Sheldon, sometimes, from a distance of two hundren miles, for 
these kettles. 

The Missisquoi railroad crosses the town from east to west, with stations at 
Sheldon Springs, Sheldon, Sheldon Junction, North Sheldon, and South 
Franklin. At Sheldon Junction the road is intersected by the S. J. & L. C. 
railway, with a station at the Junction and at Sheldon village. The Canada 
Junction road, now in process of construction, enters the town from Franklin 
and has its southern terminus at Sheldon Junction. 

In 1880, Sheldon had a population of 1,529, was divided into thirteen 
school districts and contained thirteen common schools, employing four male 
and seventeen female teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary of 
$1,827.40. There were 385 pupils attending common school, while the 
entire cost of the schools for the year, ending October 31st, was $2,512.86. 
S. W. Langdon was superintendent. 

Sheldon, a post village and station on the Lamoille railroad, is located in 
the southern part of the town on Black creek. It contains three churches, 
(Methodist, Episcopal and Congregational,) three stores, two hotels, two 
carriage shops, two blacksmith-shops, a grist and saw-mill, etc. It is very 
beautifully situated and was once a summer resort of considerable note, 
though it is not now as popular. 

North Sheldon, a post village and station on the Missisquoi railroad, is 
located north of the central part of the town, on the Missisquoi river. 

East Sheldon (p. o.), is a hamlet located in the eastern part of the town. 

Sheldon Springs (Olmsted Falls p. o.), a station on the Missisquoi rail- 
road, is located in the western part of the town on the river. It received its 
name from the noted springs found here, and contains a large hotel, — the 
Congress Hall, — one store, and a grist and saw-mill. 

South Franklin (p. o.), located in the northeastern part of the town, is a 
station on the Missisquoi railroad. 

Satnuel T. Bancroft's Carriage Factory, located at Sheldon village, was 
established by him in 1851. He manufactures all kinds of wagons, carriages 
and sleighs. 



TOWN OF SHELDON. I 55 



E. T. Holmes's carriage-shop, located at Sheldon village, has been operated 
by him since 1869. The shop is furnished with water-power and employs 
three men. 

C. E. Keith's " Wildwood" gardens and nursery, located on road 38, were 
established by the present owner in i860. They comprise an area of three 
acres, upon which Mr. Keith grows a great variety of ornamental and fruit 
trees. 

Bush iSn Draper's saw-mill, located at Sheldon village, cuts annually about 
500,000 feet of lumber. 

J. S. &> F. E. Dodge's grist and saw-mill, located at Sheldon Springs, were 
formerly known as the Olmsted mills, and were purchased by the present pro- 
prietors in November, 1881. The saw-mill has the capacity for cutting 15,000 
feet of lumber per day, and also manufacturing 500,000 shingles per annum. 
The grist-mill has three runs of stones and does mostly custom work. 

Sheldon grist-mill, operated by A. S. Olmsted, located at Sheldon village, 
has three runs of stones and does custom work. 

The first account we have of any white man's visit to Sheldon, is that of 
Samuel Sheldon, in 1789. He ascended the Lamoille river to Cambridge, 
passed through Bakersfield, striking one of the tributaries of Tyler's branch, 
which he descended until he reached the point where the latter joins the 
Missisquoi, where, it being nightfall, he stopped until morning. A large elm 
log was long pointed out as the one beneath which he slept. In the spring of 
179c, George, the youngest son of Col. Elisha Sheldon, in company with a 
Scotchman named McNamara and his wife, together with several negro ser- 
vants, came to the town as the first settlers. Upon the north side of the river, 
opposite the mouth of Tyler's branch, and near the old elm beneath which 
Samuel had passed his first night in the town the year previous, they erected 
a log house, the first built in the town. After their small crop was harvested 
that fall, the negroes returned to Burlington to pass the winter, and George 
returned to his home in Connecticut, leaving the house and small clearing in 
charge of McNamara and his wife. Here they passed a lonely, and to the 
Scotchman an extremely sad winter. When George returned in spring, he 
found that Mrs. McNamara had died, and her husband had been obliged to 
bury her remains in a snow-bank. Thus occurred the first death in the town. 
Her body was afterwards buried upon a hemlock ridge, on the south side of 
the river, about a quarter of a mile distant from the mouth of the Branch. 

Later in the spring, Col. Sheldon and his sons, Elisha, Jr., Samuel B., and 
son-in-law, Elnathan Keyes, together with their families and that of George 
Sheldon, with the negro servants, and James Herrick and James Hawley, 
arrived in town. While on their way thither, at the house of Daniel Stannard, 
in Georgia, ihe first town meeting was held, and Samuel B. Sheldon appoint- 
ed town clerk; James Herrick, constable; and Col. Elisha Sheldon, James 
Hawley, and Elisha Sheldon, Jr., selectmen. Settling at different points, all 
parties began in earnest to clear the lands. Meanwhile other settlers were

coming in, so that the settlement rapidly advanced, and, in 1800, the town 
had a population of 408. 

The first representative and first justice of the peace was Samuel B. Shel- 
don, elected in 1791. The first freemen's meeting was held in 1793, when 
the whole number of votes cast was forty-five, as follows : For governor, 
Isaac Tichenor, forty-five : for lieutenant-governor, Jonathan Hunt, forty- 
one, and Peter Shott, four; for treasurer, Samuel Mattocks, forty-five. The 
first saw-mill was built by Samuel Sheldon, in 1792. at the lower falls, about 
two miles from the present Sheldon village. In 1797, he built a grist-mill on 
the west side of the creek. In 1799, Israel Keith built the furnace and forge, 
which for along time employed one hundred men. In 1803, a carding-mill 
was built, and on the 15th of January, of the same year, a postoffice was 
established, and Dr. Hildreth appointed postmaster. Dr. Hildreth was also 
the first physician and first tavern-keeper. The first store was kept by Ben- 
jamin Clark, who afterwards sold out to Sheldon, Keith & Fitch. The first 
birth was that of a colored girl ; her mother, " Old Mary," was a servant of 
Col. Sheldon, who bought her in Connecticut. The second child born was 
Harvey Deming, son of Frederick Deming. The third child born was Louisa 
Sheldon, daughter of George Sheldon. The first school-house was built by 
Samuel Sheldon, on the west side of Black creek, and the first school teacher 
was Miss Betsey Jennison, of Swanton. The first framed house was also 
built by Samuel Sheldon. 

Samuel B. Herrick, son of James Herrick one of the first settlers of the 
town, was born here in 1808. He married Alma Hull, had a family of four 
children, and died December 10, 1874. One of his sons, Fay H., born in 1840, 
married Mary Duclos, and has two children, Earnest D., and Alma L. 
Samuel's other son, A. H., born here in 1837, died August 22, 187 1. 

Ceylon Deming, from Connecticut, was one of the early settlers of the town. 
He located near East Sheldon, upon the farm now owned by his grandson, 
William. Mr. Deming was three times married and had a family of four 
children, none ot whom are now living. 

J. C. Kittell came to Sheldon at an early date, and located upon the farm 
now owned by his son, Albert, on road 41. He became a large land-owner, 
and kept a hotel at Sheldon village for many years. He married Elizabeth 

Hawley, and had a family of twelve children, four of whom are now living. 
John and Alanson Webster, brothers, came to this town at an early date, 

and located in the northwestern part upon the farm now owned by Truman 
Webster, a grandson of John. Levi, son of John, was born on this farm in 

1802, and died here in 1851. He married Esther Birchard, who now resides 

here at the age of seventy-eight years, and had three sons, of whom Truman 

is the only one now living in the town. 

Jonathan Rice, an early settler, came here from Danby, Conn., and located 

on road 5, upon the farm now owned by his daughter, Mrs. Eunice Leader, 

where he became a heavy land owner, and extensively engaged in the lumber

business. He died here in 1863, aged eighty-three years. Jesse Rice, son 
of Jonathan, is one of the oldest inhabitants of the town, having been born 
here in 181 2. 

Amos Chadwick, an early settler from Warren, Mass., located in the north- 
eastern part of the town on road 9. He married Lucy Richmond, reared a 
family of twelve children, and died August 24, 1854, aged eighty-four years. 
His wife died in 1852, aged seventy-eight years. J. W. Chadwick, son of 
Amos, born here in 1809, died April 23, 1882. 

Thomas Marsh, from Rockingham, Vt, came to Sheldon in 1795, and 
located in the northeastern part of the town, upon the farm now owned by 
James Beatty, Jr. He was twice married, reared a family of eleven children, 
and died in 1842, aged sixty-six years. 

Lemuel Adams was born in Plainfield, New Hampshire, March 10, 1803. 
Having received a good common school education he engaged in farming 
occupations, working with his father till 
the family removed to Highgate, in 
February, 1823. Here he bought a 
small farm, and on March 3. 1830, 
married Miss Sally Smalley, of Fairfax, 
Vt., who was his faithful helper and 
constant companion for upwards of 
fifty-one years, and who still survives 
him. Four sons were born to them, 
all now living. The eldest is a wealthy 
physician, Dr. John S. Adams, in Oak- 
land, California; the second is in the 
same profession, Dr. Henry T., in Salem, 
Oregon ; the third, Frank J., is super- 
intendent of the Illinois State Temperance Union, in Springfield, Illinois ; and 
the youngest, Deacon Edward Payson Adams, resides on the home farm, on 
road 16. In 1834, Mr. Adams removed to Sheldon, having purchased the 
well known "river farm," on which is situated the renowned Missisquoi Mineral 
Spring, and was ultimately successful in accumulating considerable wealth. Be- 
ing a man of more than ordinary force of character, large intelligence and sound 
judgment, as well as integrity in all his business transactions, he was well 
qualified to discharge both faithfully and honorably various offices of trust 
in the community, especially as commissioner in the settlement of estates,, 
having been frequently associated with Deacon Harmon Northrop, of Fair- 
field, in such important matters. About seven years ago he fell from a load 
of hay, and his health becoming impaired he retired from active labors and 
went to visit his son, in California, where he spent two years and a half, 
which he greatly enjoyed. After his return he resided with his youngest 
son, on the old homestead. On Monday, October 31st, i88r, he seemed 
to be feeling as well as usual, enjoyed his breakfast, and showed

an interest in family worship. Soon after, while walking across the 
room, he was seen to stop, and partly turn around. When spoken to he 
made no reply, but immediately fell prostrate on the floor, and when his wife 
rushed to him it was found that the last step of his earthly pilgrimage 
had been taken. Life had fled. On Wednesday, November 2d, his funeral 
services were held in the Congregational church, at Sheldon village. Shel- 
don is to-day all the richer, not only in material, but in moral worth, for the 
life and example of Lemuel Adams. 

Alfred Keith, who was prominently identified with the business interests of 
Sheldon for many years, came here from Pittsford, Vt. He was noted 
throughout the country as an iron manufacturer. Mr. Keith died in 1840, 
aged seventy-two years. He had a family of nine children, of whom only 
one, Alfred, Jr., is living. 

David Foster, from Massachusetts, came to Sheldon in 1790, and located 
upon the farm now owned by John Draper. Of his family of six children, 
one only, Wade H., of Sheldon village, is living. 

Samuel Hulburt came to Sheldon in 1794, and located in the southeastern 
part of the town upon the farm at present the property of Colvin Abels. He 
remained on this place one year, then settled upon the farm now owned by 
his grandson, Samuel M., on road 43. His son, Chauncey, father of Samuel 
M., came here with him and remained until his death, in 1864, aged sixty- 
four years. 

Daniel Fish, from Rhode Island, came to this town in 1798, and settled at 
North Sheldon, where he kept a tavern for twenty-five years, and died in 1843. 
He made the first clearing in that part of the town, married Sybil Buck and 
reared a family of seven children, two of whom, Mrs. Phoebe Draper and 
Daniel, Jr., are now living. The house now occupied by Daniel, Jr., was 
was built by his father in 1816. 

Timothy S. Olmsted, from Richfield, Conn., came to this town in the year 
1800, and located at Sheldon village. His son, Smith, came the same year, 
married Polly Brown and had a family of three children. Smith settled at 
the falls which have since borne his name, and built the first saw and grist- 
mill in this portion of the town. He died in March, 1864. 

Benjamin Remington, from Rhode Island, came to this town in 1800, and 
located on road 16. His son, Jesse, was born here January 19, 1806. Jesse 
married Patience Griffin, and reared a family of seven children, only one of 
whom, Warren J., now lives here. 

Gideon Draper came to Sheldon, from Duchess county, N. Y., previous 
to 1800, and located near the central part of the town upon the farm now 
owned by Horace Draper. Alanson, son of Gideon, was born here in 1800, 
married Phoebe Fish and reared a family of five children, three of whom, 
Horace, Wilson, and John F., now reside here. 

Joseph Fairbank, from New Hampshire, came to this town in 1800, and 
located upon the farm now occupied by W. Kittell. In 1804, he married

Abigail Smith, and as a result of the union reared a family of eight children, 
two of whom are now living. He died in August, 1852, aged seventy-three 
years. 

Andrew Durkee, from Pomfert, Vt., came to Sheldon in 1802, and located 
upon the farm now occupied by his grandson, Alonzo, on road 23. He died 
June 2, 1823. Andrew, Jr., came here with his father when he was but six 
years of age, and resided upon the old homestead until his death, June 6, 
1876. His widow still survives him, aged seventy-eight years. 

Isaac J. Potter, from Connecticut, immigrated to ihis town in 1817, and 
located upon the farm now owned by his son, John A., on road 15. He was 
twice married, had a family of four children, and died in 1858, aged sixty-eight 
years. 

John Sheldon came to this town, from Andover, Vt., in 1825, and located 
on road 5, upon the farm now owned by F. C. Sheldon. He was twice mar- 
ried and reared a family of eight children. Henry L., son of John, born here 
in 1835, is still a resident of the town. 

James McFeeters, from the northern part of Ireland, came to Highgate in 
1827, where he died, February 2, 1869. His son, James, came to Sheldon in 
1837, and located on road 8, where he still resides. James married Isabella 
Riley, and had born to him nine children, five of whom are now living. 

The Methodist Episcopal Church, located at Sheldon village, was organ- 
ized by its first pastor, Rev. Isaac Hill, with seven members, in 1813. Their 
house of worship was erected in 1859. It will acdommodate 250 persons, 
cost $2,500.00, and is now valued at $3,000.00. The society has ninety mem- 
bers, with Rev. Dennis Bicknell, pastor. 

Grace Episcopal Church, located at Sheldon village, was organized in 1 8 1 6, 
by Rev. Stephen Beach, who also acted as first rector. Their first house of 
worship was erected in 1825, a wood structure, and gave place to a brick 
building in 1853, which in turn was replaced by the present brick edifice in 
1878. The building is a neat structure, capable of seating 150 persons, 
cost $5,000.00, though it is now valued, including grounds, at $6,000.00. 
The church now has seventy communicants, with Rev. A. H. Bailey rector. 

The Congregational Church, located at Sheldon village, was organized in 
1 81 6. Just at what date, however, is not known, as there are no records now 
in existence farther back than 1830. The society has fifty-three members, 
with Rev. Charles P. Watson, pastor. 



jT. ALBANS, the shire town of Franklin county, lies in the western part 
of the same, in lat. 44 49' and long. 3 54', bounded north by Swanton, 
east by Fairfield, south by Georgia, and west by the waters of Lake 
Champlain. The tract was chartered, to contain an area of 23,040 acres, 
August 17, 1763, by Benning Wentworth, the royal governor of New Hamp- 
shire, to Stephen Pomeroy and sixty-three others, in seventy shares, and

subject to all the restrictions, reservations, etc., incident to these grants. In 
outline, owing to the indenture of St. Albans bay, the town is extremely irreg- 
ular it being nearly nine miles from its eastern to its western limit, while from 
north to south it is but five miles. Several islands have been annexed to the 
territory since its charter was granted, the largest being Potter's Island, con- 
taining an area of 303 acres, annexed October 28, 1842, and Wood's Island, 
with an area of 115 acres, annexed October 27, 1845. Aside from these, 
both of which are inhabited, are Ball's Island, lying south of Potter's Island, 
Popasquash Island, lying oft the northern limit of the town, and two small 
ones in the bay, called respectively Rock and Ram Islands. 

No town in the State, probably, has so pleasing a surface contour, and at 
the same time commands as fine scenic prospects as St. Albans. Along the 
eastern border of the town there extends a range of hills, their southern 
terminus and highest point being an elevation called Bellevue, very happily 
named from the grand prospect it commands. Another hill near by, called 
Prospect, and Aldis Hill just north of the village, constitute the principal 
elevations, while the other portions of the town consist of high and verdant 
plateaus and broad, level meadow-lands. The lake shore is pleasingly in- 
dented by Lapan and St. Albans bays, the latter being the port-entry of the 
town. It is about two and one-half miles in length by from a half mile to a 
mile in width, and was originally given by the Indians the euphonious title of 
Bellamaqueam. Separating this bay from the main channel of the lake is St. 
Albans point, a neck of land about two and one-half miles in length by a 
half mile to two miles in width. From the summit of Bellevue a prospect of 
exquisitely blended scenery is presented, which only the hand of a skillful 
painter can fitly portray, embracing the beautiful and highly cultivated Cham- 
plain valley, with it numerous villages, bounded on the east by the blue, ser- 
rated peaks of the Green Mountains, grand in themselves, and grander still 
in historical lore, the view limited in the hazy west by the brown Adirondacks, 
between which and the beholder lie the silvery waters of Lake Champlain 
with its numerous verdant isles, while away to the north, where the British 
lion yet rests his paw, the mountains lying in the rear of Montreal and other 
points in Canada are in full view. The soil is principally a rich loam, well 
adapted to the growth of the several cereal crops indiginous to the latitude, 
and also producing abundant crops of grass. There is little waste land in 
the whole township, the hills being arable nearly to their summits, and thus 
affording sustenance to large herds and flocks, for which the town is noted. 
Though there are no streams of importance, the territory is well watered, the 
principal one being Tuller's brook, flowing into the head of St. Albans bay. The 
original forest trees were mostly maple, beech, birch, elm, ash and hemlock, 
with maple preponderating. Little, however, of the timber is now standing. 
Geologically, the formation of the town varies considerably, the several 
varieties or rocks, however, retaining the usual parallel ranges or veins com- 
mon throughout the county. Near the lake shore, including the whole of 



TOWN OF ST. ALBANS. 161 



that portion of the territory lying west of a line extending r.orth from the 
head of St. Albans bay, is an immense bed of Hudson river slates, next to 
which is a narrow range of Hudson river limestone; next to this, extending 
to the western limit of the village, the rocks are of the Georgia slate forma- 
tion, while the residue of the township overlies beds of quartz rock and 
tolcose conglomerate. These several general divisions are composed of the 
usual great variety of formations entering into their composition, while some 
varieties are peculiar to this town. Among the latter are the celebrated St. 
Albans calico stone, a fine building material, variegated marble, and several 
grades of limestone suitable for lime manufacture and building purposes. 
No minerals of importance have been discovered. 

In 1880, St. Albans had a population of 7,195, was divided into thirteen 
school districts, and contained twenty-one common schools, employing three 
male and thirty-two female teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary 
of $7,253.00. There were 1,626 pupils attending common school, while the 
entire cost of the schools for the year, ending October 31st, was $8,406.45, 
with S. W. Landon, superintendent. 

St. Albans, a post village and capital of the county, was incorporated by 
the legislature, November 18, 1859. It has an area of about two square 
miles, admirably located on a high and fertile plateau, 375 feet above, and 
three miles back from the lake shore, in nearly the center of the southern 
part of the town, on Steven's brook. A more healthful and pleasant loca- 
tion could scarcely be imagined, while the thrift, energy, economy and good 
taste of its seven thousand citizens, renders it one of the most prominent villages 
in the State. The highest point is reached in the eastern part, at the residence 
of Hon J. G. Smith, 215 feet above the court-house, and 590 feet above the 
level of the lake, from which a most charming view may be obtained. 
Sloping gently towards the lake the village lies at one's feet, remarkable for 
its neat, commodious, and in some instances elegant residences, beautiful 
gardens, fine rows of business blocks, several large manufactories, mammoth 
railroad buildings, fine churches and public structures, and near the center 
of all a large public park, having an area of fifty by twenty rods. The 
park was formly known as the " Square " or " Common," but on June n, 
1870, it was named Taylor Park by the trustees of the village, in honor of 
Holloway Taylor, Esq., one of the early settlers of the town, who, on Sep- 
tember 26, 1799, deeded the land that it contains to the town for the pur- 
pose for which it has since been used. In front of the park, having a width 
of six rods, is the principal street of the village, and upon which, and cross- 
streets adjacent to the park, are situated the principal business houses. North 
of the park it is called north Main street, and south of it South Main street. 
Parallel with Main street are several other broad, well-kept streets, which are 
crossed at right angles by numerous others, giving the village an exceedingly 
neat and uniform appearance. Gazing on beyond the village, one's eye takes 

in a broad, level tract of land reaching to the lake shore, where that beautiful

picture begins, which, coupled with its historic associations, has made the 
name "Champlain " world-renowned. The most picturesque part of the lake 
is at this point, it being completely dotted over with verdant islands, and 
appearing from a distance to blend into alternate brakes of silver and emerald, 
beyond which the Adirondacks limit one's vision, forming in their grandeur a 
fitting object upon which to cast the last lingering gaze after so charming a 
vision. To the north, east and south, as one turns, is to behold but types of 
the same loveliness, until the admirer of the beautiful finds his senses 
ravished with the scene, and can only say with Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in 
his first chapter of "Norwood," it is "a place in the midst of greater variety 
of scenic beauty than any other that I remember in America." 

Not alone is St. Albans noted for its scenic beauty, however, for it is one of 
the largest railroad centers of the State, and contains the largest depot in New 
England, while its butter market shows the heaviest transactions of any in the 
country. Of its manufacturing interests, the following are the principal : — 

St. Albans Foundry, located on Lake street, corner of Foundry street, was 
established in 1840, and the present works rank among the best establish- 
ments of the kind in the country. The works do a general business in 
machinery and foundry work, repairs and jobbing, in addition to which they 
manufacture many specialties, the chief of which is Olds' patent horse-powers, 
threshing machines, etc. Circular and drag saw-mills, agricultural implements 
of all kinds, stoves, light and heavy forgings, car-wheels, railroad castings, and 
hundreds of other articles which we have not space to mention, are also con- 
structed, while the works furnish plans, specifications and estimates for every 
class of work, on application. About five years ago the establishment began 
the manufacture of Olds' patent horse-powers and threshing machines, not 
expecting a very extensive business in that direction, but the excellence of 
the apparatus at once created a healthy demand, until now it has the pre- 
cedence over other manufactures at the works. Its sale is constantly increas- 
ing, and the machines are now shipped to all parts of the country. The 
foundry is located directly opposite the depot, and forms a group of half a 
dozen buildings, the grounds surrounding and upon which they stand amount- 
ing to between three and four acres. About seventy-five operatives are 
employed, and the number is increasing. The principal castings for the Cen- 
tral Vermont railroad are manufactured here, and the daily consumption of 
iron averages about seven tons. The proprietor of the works is Mr. W. C. 
Smith, while Mr. N. C. Hyde is general agent, and Amos W. Clark, superin- 
tendent. 

The St. Albans Iron and Steel Works, engaged in the manufacture of car- 
rails, located on the south side of Welden street, were incorporated by a 
special act of the legislature in the autumn of 1873, the following named 
gentlemen forming the list of officers : Philo Remington, of Ilion, N. Y., 
president ; Edward A. Smith, vice-president ; John W. Newton, treasurer ; 
and George G. Smith, secretary. During that winter the company erected

the necessary buildings, and commenced active operations the following spring, 
though it was not until 1878, that the manufacture of steel was begun, nothing 
but iron having been used previous to that time. It was the original intention 
of the firm to supply but the moderate demands of local roads, but the busi- 
ness gradually extended, until now nearly one-half of their goods are shipped 
to western markets. The firm has a capital of $350,000.00, employs 175 
men, and manufactures 20,000 tons of rails per annum, about three-quarters 
of the steel used being imported from England and Scotland, and the bal-

ance manufactured by themselves, with the open-hearth furnace — Seimens 
process. The present officers are: A. O. Brainerd, president; Edward A. 
Smith, vice-president and manager ; and Herbert Brainerd, secretary and 
treasurer. 

The National Car Company, with their office located at the depot in this 
village, own about four thousand railroad cars which they rent to different 
roads. The company was chartered by an act of the legislature, approved 
November 18, 1868, the capital to be $500,000.00, in shares of $100.00 
each. This act, however, was amended November 21, 1870, so that the 
capital stock was unlimited, and it was immediately increased to $2,000,000.00, 



I64 TOWN OF ST. ALBANS. 



and again by a vote of February 16, 1882, this amount was increased to 
$3,000,000.00, a large proportion being owned by non-residents. Up to this 
time the company have owned no shops, and consequently have been obliged 
to pay out large sums for repairs ; but it is now contemplated by them to 
build large shops at this point, to cost not less than $50,000.00. Should 
this be done, as it doubtless will, it will add greatly to the manufacturing 
interests of the village. The present officers of the company are, Lansing 
Millis, of Boston, Mass., president; John B. Fletcher, superintendent; and 
F. Stewart Stranahan, secretary and treasurer. 

Joseph H. Crosby's grist-mill, located on Market street, was established 
in 1879, with a small, twenty-inch Harrison mill, operated by a ten horse- 
power engine. It now requires a thirty-five horse-power engine and operates 
three runs of stones, and has ground fifty-four car-loads of jgrain during the 
past twelve months. 

R. Mc DoiigaW s carriage and sleigh factory, located on Kingman 
street, was established in 1870. Mr. McDougall now employs three men 
and manufactures all kinds of wagons, carriages and sleighs. 

The St. Albans soap ivorks, located on road 22, about a quarter of a 
mile outside of the corporation limits, were established by the present pro- 
prietor, Mr. F. C. Prentiss, in 1880. He manufactures all kinds of soap, 
turning out about 2,000 pounds per month. 

The Glens Falls Shirt Company. — This factory was removed to St. 
Albans, from Glens Falls, N. Y., February 15, 1881, a few weeks subsequent 
to a destructive fire which ruined nearly all of the machinery in use at the 
factory in Glens Falls. It was not, however, until July that the factory began 
operations, and soon had a number of persons employed. The factory is 
located at 90, 92, 94 and 96 Main street, the building being the old Tremont 
House, an imposing structure 120x80 feet, five stories in height. The first, 
or basement floor, is devoted to awash-room for laundry and supply purposes ; 
the second contains offices, shipping rooms and an ironing room ; the third, 
finishing room, store room for unlaundried shirts, dampening, starch and dry 
rooms for laundry and and ironing machines ; the fourth, stitching room ; the 
fifth, cutting room and storage of patterns and stock. An engine room is 
added to the building, steam being generated in a forty horse-power boiler, 
supplying an engine of twenty-five horse capacity. The capitalists of the 
concern are O. A. Burton, of Burlington, and Edward A. Sowles, of St. Al- 
bans,, while Mr. James MacDonald is manager of the business. 

Frederick Dutcher 1 s flypaper matiufactory, located on Pearl, corner of 
Water streets, was established by L. L. Dutcher & Son in 1850. Mr. 
Dutcher now employs twelve hands and manufactures 2,000 reams of fly- 
paper per annum. 

The Naramore Power Company, W. T. Smith, secretary and treasurer, and 
T. C. Naramore, superintendent, was lately organized for the purpose of man- 
ufacturing a power for raising buildings, pressing hay, cotton, cider, hops etc., 



TOWN OF ST. ALBANS. 1 65 



and for lifting stones, pulling stumps, etc. The works are located in con- 
nection with the St. Albans Foundry. 

The International Hay and Cotton Press Company was incorporated with 
a capital of $300,000.00, at the legislative session of 1882. The officers are 
Guy C. Noble, president ; D. D. Ranlett, vice-president ; William H. 
Dubois, treasurer; E. J. Chamberlain, secretary; and G. W. Batchelder, of 
Boston, general superintendent. The office is on Railroad Square. 

This completes the list of the principal manufactories. St. Albans should 
and must be a large manufacturing village, situated as it is with the navagable 
waters of the lake only three miles distant, and with the railroads branching 
from it in all directions, until it resembles a huge spider. There probably is 
no place in the State where manufacturing interests could be more advan- 
tageously conducted than here, and mechanics and capitalists are gradually 
awakening to a knowledge of this fact. 

BANKS. 

The first bank in the town was a branch of the old State Bank, about 1807, 
and was located in the wooden building now standing on the southeast corner 
of Main and Congress streets. In 1826, a bank was incorporated by the leg- 
islature as " The President, Directors and Company of the Bank of St. Albans," 
with a capital of $50,000.00. This institution first did business in a building 
occupying the present site of Clark & Hatch's store, and afterwards erected a 
banking house where the Welden House now stands. The charter was re- 
newed once, and finally expired about 1856. 

The Franklin County Bank was next organized, chartered in 1849, with a 
capital of $100,000.00, and commenced business in the spring of 1850, at 
St. Albans Bay. In 1853, the bank erected the building at the village now 
occupied by the First National Bank. O. A. Burton was the first president, 
and Edward W. Parker, cashier. The bank suffered from the raid of 1864, 
losing about $75,000.00, mostly their own bills. Immediately after the raid, 
the bank went into liquidation, paying all honest debts, but refusing to redeem 
its bills where a satisfactory account of proper possession could not be 
proven. 

The St. Albans Bank, chartered in 1853, was organized in 1854, with a 
capital of $150,000.00. It began business in the Brainerd Block, and a year 
or so later moved into the building formerly occupied by the Bank of St. 
Albans. Hiram B. Sowles was elected president, and Henry Sowles, cashier. 
This bank was also raided in 1864, and lost heavily, but continued business 
up to 1866. 

The First National Bank of St. Albatis was chartered February 8, 1864, 
and commenced operations the following May, with a capital of $100,000.00 
and the privilege of increasing the same to $500,000.00. The first officers 
were Hiram Bellows, president; and Albert Sowles, cashier. The present 
officers are Edward A. Sowles, president ; Albert Sowles, cashier ; and Charles 



1 66 TOWN OF ST. ALBANS. 



A Weeks, teller. During the Canadian raid of 1864, the bank lost $60.- 
000.00, though the Canadian government refunded $28,000.00, and the 
United States about the same amount. 

The Vermont National Bank of St. A Ibans was chartered in October, 1865, 
and began business June 1,1866, with a capital of $200,000.00. The first 
officers were Douglass E. Smith, president, and Bradley Barlow, cashier. The 
present officers are Bradley Barlow, president, andjCyrus N. Bishop, cashier. 

The St. Albans Trust Company was chartered November 18, 1868, and com- 
menced business in August of the following year, with a capital of $100,- 
000.00. The institution has done a safe and successful business from the 
first, and now has 2,500 depositors, with a total deposit of $500,000.00. At 
its organization, Giles Merrill was chosen president, and Martin A. Seymour, 
treasurer. The present officers are Lawrence Brainerd, president, and He- 
ber E. Burgess, treasurer. 

HOTELS. 

The American House, occupying a central position on the west side of the 
park, is the oldest of the present hotels in the village. It is a large, four- 
story brick structure, capable of accommodating 150 guests. The house is 
well appointed throughout, furnishes excellent board, and has long been a 
favorite hotel with the traveling public, a reputation that the present propri- 
etor, Mr. S. I. Stroud, endeavors to maintain. 

The St. Albans House, located on Lake street, nearer the depot, is not so 
large as the others, but well-kept, and has an abundance of patronage. The 
building is of brick, three and one-half stories in height, well furnished, and 
modern in all its appointments. The proprietor, Mr. J. D. Shedd, came 
into possession in January, 1881, and immediately caused the hotel to show 
the effects of his long experience and adaptability to the business. Under 
his management it is daily becoming more popular. 

The Welden House, located at the head of the park, is one of the largest 
and best appointed hotels in New England. It is a five-story brick structure, 
with a Mansard roof, and contains 200 high, well-ventilated, and luxuriously 
furnished rooms, many of which are arranged in suits of three or four for the 
accommodation of families. The dining-room is situated on the second 
floor, a spacious and convenient apartment There are several large parlors, 
elegantly furnished with black walnut furniture and body Brussels carpeting, 
a counterpart of the furnishing throughout the house, while the cuisine is all 
that the most fastidious could desire. Mr. Thomas Lavender, the gentle- 
manly proprietor, by his courtesy and kindness to guests, has made himself 
extremely popular with the traveling public. As a summer resort, the house 
is widely known and is increasing in favor each year, for here one can enjoy 
all the luxury of the cool, country air, and sacrifice none of the comforts of 
city life. Banks, the postoffice, and business houses of all kinds, are close 
at hand, churches within easy distar.: e, while charming drives and rambles

can be taken in every direction, A fifteen minutes walk will take one to 
Aldis Hill, from whence a charming panoramic view surprises and delights 
the beholder. The best fishing grounds on Lake Champlain are but three 
miles distant, while Missisquoi, Sheldon, Highgate, and Alburgh springs, pos- 
sessing wonderful curative properties, are not far distant, all of which, united

with a cool and most healthful climate, exquisite scenery and quiet repose 
renders the Welden a miniature paradise. On arrival at the house, the guest 
is met by the chief clerk, Mr. A. A. Merrifield, who has been connected with 
the hotel about six years, and the first sight of his genial countenance and 
affable manners will immediately cause the most diffident stranger to feel 
perfectly at home. 

The other hotels are smaller, and chiefly sustained by local patronage.

FIRES. 

Few disastrous fires have occurred in the village, and no conflagration that 
would tend to seriously retard the progress of the place has ever been visited 
upon it. A serious loss, in one sense, was sustained June 6, 1869, when the 
building in which the village records were kept was destroyed, so that the early 
proceedings cannot be gotten at with any degree of certainty. The most dis- 
astrous loss by fire the village ever sustained was on the morning of Sunday, 
September 17, 187 1. At about three o'clock, fire was discovered in the rear 
of Johnson & Dinsmore's store, on the south side of Lake street. The flames 
spread rapidly along that side of the street, and though there was but little 
wind, they soon gained such headway that the fire department, supplied only 
with hand-engines and no hooks or ladders, could make little progress against 
them. Twenty-five buildings were destroyed before the fire was subdued. 
The total loss to all parties was estimated at about $100,000.00, the heaviest 
losers being George W. Barnes, John G. Driscoll, and the St. Albans Foun- 
dry Company. Previous to this date, the village had had no water-supply, 
except that of family wells and about twenty town cisterns, and the great loss 
attending this fire, with the possibility of a repetition of the same at any time, 
led to the serious entertainment of an often agitated subject, — an adequate 

WATER SUPPLY. 
Two days after the fire, September 19th, a special meeting of the voters 
of the village was warned to meet on the 29th inst., " to see what measures, 
if any, the corporation will take to secure a supply of water for the use of 
said village." Pursuant to this warning the meeting was held, and upon 
motion of Edward A. Smith, it was 

" Resolved, That it is expedient to draft measures to secure at an early 
day such a supply of water as the wants of the village require for domestic 
purposes and fire protection. And the trustees of the village are hereby 
authorized and instructed to take the matter into consideration, and report 
at a future meeting the best and most economical plan by which this object 
may be accomplished." 

Various meetings were held from this time forward, until finally, on the 
22d of April, 1872, a contract was directed to be entered into with the St. 
Albans Aqueduct Co., which was accordingly effected the following day. 
This company had been chartered several years previous, but had never 
acted under their charter, as the village had as yet no power to acquire 
property outside of the corporation limits. Edward A. Smith organized the 
company under the charter, and contracted with the village for building the 
works, to be completed and delivered at a future time. At the session of 
the legislature during that fall, the necessary amendment to the village 
charter was enacted, whereby it might hold property outside of its limits, and 
a transfer of the works was effected March 12, 1874, by the Aqueduct Com- 
pany, represented by its directors, Lawrence Brainerd, Edward A. Smith, 
George G. Hunt, James M. Foss, and Reuben C. Benton, to the village of 



TOWN OF ST. ALBANS. 169 



St. Albans, represented by its trustees, Matthew G. Elliott, Guy C. Noble, 
F. Stewart Stranahan, Henry C. Adams, and Stebbins A. Smith. The total 
cost of the works was $150,000.00. The reservoir, situated on the Porter 
Danforth farm, at North Fairfax, covers an area of about twenty-three acres, 
has an average depth of about thirteen feet, and a head of 330 feet, the 
water being conducted to the village, a distance of four miles, by a twelve- 
inch main, whence it is distributed to the desired localities. Numerous fire 
hydrants have been erected throughout the village, so that with the force 
afforded by the height of the reservoir, comparative security is felt in regard 
to fires. 

In the spring of 1880, the fire department was re-organized, so that instead of 
three small companies, the village now has one large company, the Washing- 
ton Hose No. 1, with fifty members, who are paid for actual services. A 
hose attached to a hydrant will throw a stream over any building in the vil- 
lage, and with an efficient company, three hose carts, one hook and ladder 
cart, 2,000 feet of hose, and a hand-engine for especial purposes, St. Albans 
may be said to have a very efficient department. The company has a neatly 
furnished house on Center street, in which they take commendable pride. 
The present officers are as follows: B. F. Kelley, chief engineer ; H. C. Sperry, 
foreman ; William Lacour, first assistant ; William Ryan, second assistant ; 
Chas. Bordo, secretary ; and George Lacour, treasurer. 

GAS LIGHT. 

The St. Albans Gas Light Co. was incorporated in November, 1859, with 
a capital of $50,000.00. Coal gas was manufactured until November, 1880, 
when the company put in Hanlen's patent retorts and benches, since which 
time gas has been made from crude petrolium, with which the village is well 
lighted. 

THE TELEPHONE. 

The St. Albans Telephone Exchange was established October 1, 1881, 
erected about forty miles of wire, and connected the village with St. Albans 
Bay, and the village of S wanton; but in the month of November, 1882, the 
business and its appurtenances was sold to a Boston syndicate, who now con- 
trol the wires. 

OLD HOUSES. 

Old houses have a peculiar interest to most people, and there are few who 
once under the old roof-tree, do not allow the imagination to run riot — to 
conjure up scenes in the old building that might have transpired far back in 
the track of Father Time, or, to recall faces that still haunt manv a familiar 
and once favorite nook. Few villages there are that cannot boast their 
"haunted house," or that have no quaint, old-fashioned dwellings which are 
pointed out to the stranger with no slight degree of commendable pride, as 



170 TOWN OF ST. ALBANS. 



the birth-place of " Hon. So-and-so," the house in which " Parson Blank 
preached his first sermon ;" or, " the building from which was borne all that 
was mortal of good old Uncle John, the first settler in the town." A few 
of these old land-marks are left in St. Albans, though they are fast giving 
place to modern structures, and one by one are crumbling into the dust that 
long ago received those who erected them. 

The first frame house built in the town was that now occupied by Romeo 
H. Hoyt. It was built by Silas Hathaway, in 1794, and was occupied by 
him as a tavern. The courts of the newly organized county were held in its 
hail, and religious services also were occasionally held there. The two-story 
frame house occupied by George W. Kendall and Jeremiah Soofield, on 
North Main street, was built by Alfred Hathaway previous to the year 
1800. The wood house occupied by the widow and family of the late Abel 
Houghton, on South Main street, was built about the year 1800, by John 
Corliss. The house and barn on South Main street, near the hill, built by 
Job Greene in 1801, is still standing. The small frame house located on 
the corner of Main and Congress streets, was built by Joseph Griswold 
previous to 1803, and has at different periods been occupied as a store, 
dwelling, a branch of the old State Bank, and now serves as a millinery store 
and shoe shop. Thaddeus Rice built a house on the west side of Main 
street previous to 1803, which is now occupied as a tenement. Sylvester 
Noble's house, on the west side of North Main street, was owned by Joseph 
Mussey in 1803, and was erected some years previous. Previous to the year 
1803, Capt. John Gilman built a large house on the east side of Main street, 
which took several days to raise, and the settlers came from the adjoining 
towns to assist. This house is now endeared by associations to the third 
generation of the Blaisdell family, three heads of that family having breathed 
their last there, —Major Morrill, Capt. John Gilman, and J. M. Blaisdell, it 
now being occupied by W. H. and G. G. Blaisdell, with their families. 

At this time, 1803, the whole of the village was located on Main street, 
except one or two houses on Congress street, and the court-house, academy, 
and Holloway Taylor's house on the east side of the park. The merchants 
were Daniel Ryan, Curtis & Foot, and Carter Hickok. Ryan occuped the 
yellow house on the east side of Main street, now the dwelling of Horace 
Weeks. Curtis & Foot had their store in the present dwelling of Dr. Duns- 
more, it having then stood on the site now occupied by the Farrar Block, 
and Carter Hickok was located in a building where Harvey's furniture store 
now is. 

CEMETERIES. 

A suitable place for the interment of the dead was early sought after by 
the inabitants of the town, and at a meeting held on the first Tuesday in 
June, 1802, a committee consisting of Joseph Carter, Amos Morrill, and 
Seth Pomeroy was appointed to inquire into the subject and report at an 
adjourned meeting. At the next regular meeting, during the same month, 



TOWN OF ST. ALBANS. 171 



the committee report was adopted, and the town purchased of William Nason 
one and one-quarter acres of land on Main street, paying $70.00 per acre. 
Three-quarters of an acre on the Lake road was also purchased, of Chester 
Fuller, at $33.33 per acre, which was added to at different times, being the 
same now in use in that locality. Here, on Main street, about half a mile 
from the center of the village, are the three St. Albans cemeteries, the " old," 
the " new," and the " Catholic," two in front and one in the back-ground. 
The old cemetery is upon the upper hand and the new upon the lower, the 
grounds being divided from each other and from the Catholic yard only by a 
fence. The spot might almost be styled the old St. Albans, for upon the 
marble shafts we find the names of Seth Wetmore, Silas Hathaway, Hon. 
Benjamin Swift, Judge Bates Turner, Hon. John Smith and others, who 
once constituted the village. In 1852, the St. Albans Cemetery Association 
was chartered by the legislature, the charter being made in favor of Hon. Asa 
Aldis, Hon. Lawrence Brainerd, and William H. Hoyt, and their associates 
and successors. Since that time the association has succeeded in creating 
a most beautiful spot, to which they are constantly adding improvements, 
having planted 250 trees during the past season, and expended during the 
past three years about $3,000.00 on embellishments. The association elects 
six trustees annually, who in turn elect their own officers. The present list 
is, H. G. Edson, president, and E. G. Greene, secretary and treasurer. 

HOME FOR LITTLE WANDERERS. 

The Warner Home for Little Wanderers is situated on High street, upon 
the side of Aldis Hill. In 1881, Mr. Chauncey Warner, Df Cambridge, La- 
moille county, offered to give the ladies of St. Albans $25,000.00 towards 
establishing this home, providing the ladies would buy the present site for its 
location. This offer the ladies accepted, formed themselves into an associa- 
tion, and elected the following officers, in December of that year : Mrs. J. G. 
Smith, president ; Mrs. E. D. Fuller, vice-president ; Mrs. Henry Watson, 
secretary; Mrs. F. S. Stranahan, treasurer; and Mrs. M. A. Warren, matron. 
The grounds were purchased at a cost of $5,000.00, and the buildings now 
have a beautiful, healthful location, commanding a fine view of the lake. 
The object of the institution, as the name implies, is to care for and furnish a 
home for destitute children, and though the good work is but in its infancy, 
many little homeless waifs already have cause to bless the name of its gener- 
ous founder, and the noble ladies who have it in charge. The trustees of the 
institution are, D. D. Ranlet, H. M. Stevens, and F. S. Stranahan. 

LIBRARIES. 

The St. Albans Public Library is mainly indebted for its existence to the late 
Henry J. Hunt, of Boston, once a resident of this village. He bequeathed by his 
last will and testament, to the town of St. Albans, the sum of $1,000.00 for the 



1^2 TOWN OF ST. ALBANS. 



establishment of a public library, providing an equal amount should be raised, 
for the same purpose, by the people of the town. Mr. Hunt died October 
4, 1 86 1, and his executor, the conditions having been complied with, paid 
over the amount of the bequest to the selectmen. The library, located 
on Kingman street, now has 2,200 volumes, under the charge of Miss Carrie 
Jennison, librarian. 

The Vermont Central Railroad Library Association was organized by the rail- 
road men, at North field, Vt, in 1855. In 1859, itwas removed to St. Albans, 
where it is now located in a room on the main lower floor of the general offi- 
ces building. The association at present is in a flourishing financial condi- 
tion, and has over 2,000 volumes in its library, and additions are intended to 
be made yearly. The library is opened each Saturday afternoon and evening, 
when all railroad men who subscribe towards its support are entitled to draw 
books therefrom, and is also open to all others who pay for the privilege. 

FRANKLIN COUNTY GRAMMAR SCHOOL. 

The Franklin County Grammar School was established at St. Albans, by 
an act of the general assembly of Vermont, passed November 9, 1799. 
Board of trustees named in the charter : Silas Hathaway, Levi House, 
Joseph Jones, Nathan Greene, Seth Pomeroy, Jonathan Hoit, Elisha Sheldon 
and Joseph Robinson. The first building erected at St. Albans for the use 
of the school, was a spacious and tasteful wooden one, with a large hall in 
the second story, built under the direction of Joseph Jones, Levi House and 
Jonathan Hoit, a committee appointed by the trustees. It stood near the 
site of the present Union School house, and after several years was removed 
upon Taylor Park, where it remained several months, and then was removed 
to Main street, having been, in recent times, furnished with a brick front, 
and converted into stores, and occupied until burnt, in January, 1865. In 
place of the wooden building so removed, the trustees erected a two-story 
brick building, in the year 1828, which was used until i860, when it was sold 
to Benjamin F. Rugg, who removed it to Lake street, and converted it into 
a building to be occupied as a store and a billiard saloon. In 186 1, the 
premises having been leased by the Franklin County Grammar School, to 
Union School District No. 4, in St. Albans, a committee of said district, 
consisting of Bradley Barlow, John Gregory Smith and William W. White, 
erected the large building now standing thereon. By the terms of said lease, the 
Union School District is bound to provide, free of rent, on one of the floors ? 
in said building, a capacious and convenient furnished room or rooms, to 
accommodate at least one hundred students for the exclusive use, occupancy 
and control, at all times, of the trustees of the Grammar School,and their suc- 
cessors in office, and subject to the further proviso, that said district shall not 
use or occupy any portion of said premises for other than school purposes. 
The school is now under the charge of C. H. Goldthwaite, principal, who 
lately succeeded Mr. S. W. Landon. Mr. Landon, who is now connected 



TOWN OF ST. ALBANS. 173 



with the public schools of Burlington, was principal of the school here for a 
number of years, proving himself an efficient educator, and raising the stand- 
ard of the institution much during his principalship. 

The original town charters granted by the Vermont legislature, contained a 
clause, reserving one share of land in each town for the support of a county 
grammar school. Of the reservations thus made in this county, the respective 
towns wherein they are situated, pay an annual rent to Franklin County 
Grammar School, as follows: Berkshire, $20.50; Enosburgh, $25.42; 
Fletcher, $6.00 ; Franklin, $27.80; Montgomery, $25.20; Richford, $30.00, 
amounting in all to $135.02. 

MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. 

The St. Albans Village Medical Association was organized in April, 1871, 
by the physicians of this village, who convened at the office of Dr. O. F. Fas- 
sett, for that purpose. They adopted the constitution of the State Medical 
Society, and the code of ethics of the American Medical Association, and 
also agreed to meet on the first Monday evening of each month, at eight 
o'clock. Dr. John Branch was elected president, and Dr. S. S. Clark, sec- 
retary. Dr. Branch delivered his inaugural address, upon the benefits of asso- 
ciation, which was well received by the members who voted to have it pub- 
lished. The society received all the physicians of the village at that time, 
who were in regular standing in the profession, and has also those who have since 
taken up a residence here. Three members are deceased, — R. C. M. Wood- 
ward, R. R. Sherman, and John Branch. Eighteen members are living, in- 
cluding the honary members, who reside in the adjoining towns and are fre- 
quently present and engage in the discussions. This society has been of 
much service to the local physicians, in keeping them informed upon all med- 
ical subjects, and in sustaining harmony among themselves. They each take 
such an interest in their meetings that they have seldom missed holding a 
session during the past eleven and a half years, The present officers are, H. 
P. Hall, president, and R. Sherwood, secretary. 

The village supports six churches, all of handsome style of architecture, 
presided over by able pastors, and well attended. They will be spoken of in 
detail farther on. 

St. Albans Bay, a post village located on the bay of that name, about two 
and one-half miles from St. Albans village, contains a church (Methodist Epis- 
copal,) two stores, two blacksmith shops, a wagon shop, steamboat landing 
and about fifty dwellings. 

Fonda's lime kilns, located just over the line in Swanton, about three miles 
from St. Albans village, employ thirty-five men, and manufacture from 60,- 
000 to 70,000 barrels of St. Albans bleaching lime per year. Mr. W. B. 
Fonda, the proprietor, has been engaged in this branch of manufacture since 
1872, and also deals largely in lumber, coal and wood.

TOWN OF ST. ALBANS. 



The St. Albans Point Creamery was established by a stock company in 
1882, and commenced business on the 23d of May, with a capital of $4,000. oo r 
J. S. Morrell, president ; J. H. Brooks, treasurer and superintendent ; and J. 
S. Morrell, of Swanton, J. H. Brooks, F. E. Bell, and Edward C. Smith, di- 
rectors. The factory manufactures both butter and cheese, with the capacity 
for handling the milk from 800 cows. 

The Lake View House, a very handsome summer resort located on the 
shore of the lake, about five miles from the village, was built by Mr. H. S. 
Samson, the present proprietor, in 1870. During the following year he sold 
the place to Charles E. Wilson, who retained it until 1877, when it was re- 
purchased by Mr. Samson. He immediately instituted extensive repairs, 




(LAKE VIEW HOUSE AND GROUNDS.) 

beautified the grounds and built a pavilion 1,200 square feet in extent, until 
the hotel and surroundings now present an exceedingly handsome appearance. 
Not alone were the improvements made upon the outside, however, for upon 
the inside it is as finely appointed and conveniently arranged as any hotel of 
the kind in the State. The locality is very attractive as a summer resort, as 
an excellent view of the lake and surrounding well-known beautiful scenery 
is afforded, good boating privileges furnished, and one of the best fishing 
grounds on the lake near at hand. 

EARLY SETTLEMENT. 

The first settler in St. Albans was Jesse Welden, who came here previous 
to the Revolution, from Sunderland, Vt., and built a log cabin a few rods 
south of the meeting-house at the Bay. He was followed soon after by Dun- 



TOWN OF ST. ALBANS. 



175 



can Dunn, a Mr. Dorsey, and Mr. Spafford, all of whom were driven off their 
possessions by the events of the war. Mr. Welden is said to have been taken 
prisoner by the British, and to have made his escape. Little, however, is 
known of the man, not even his birthplace having been ascertained, though 
he is said to have been of Indian extraction. After the close of the war, in 
1785, he returned to the town and again located at the Bay, on what has since 
been known as the Brackett place, and from theie removed to what is now 
the village, building a log cabin about ten rods southwest of the present res- 
idence of Mrs. Abel Houghton. Here he cleared seventy acres of land, 
planted an orchard, held in possession three lots on the south side of Main 
street, and shortly before his death erected a hewed log house near the pres- 
ent residence of Henry M. Stevens. He became one of the leading citizens 
of the town, and his name is yet held in venerated remembrance by the street 
and magnificent hotel named in his honor. He was accidentally drowned off 
Isle LaMotte, in October, 1795, while returning from St. Johns in a skiff 
laden with salt. His body was not found until the following spring, when it 
was brought to St. Albans for interment. 

During the year of Welden's return to the town, in 1785, a number of 
men came to look over the territory with a view to settlement, and in 1786, 
Daniel B. Meigs, Amos Morrill, Andrew, Noel and Freeborn Potter, Job and 
Nathan Greene, Daniel Baker, Thomas Gibbs and several others came on 
with their families. In 1787, these were followed by others, among whom 
was Silas Hathaway, from Bennington, who was largely interested in lands 
in St. Albans, and did much to promote immigration. In 1794, he built the 
first frame house in the town, which is now occupied by Romeo H. Hoyt. 
Although Mr. Hathaway held so much land in his name as to be facetiously 
called "Baron Hathaway," many of his titles proved defective, and he died 
comparatively poor, in November, 1831, aged sixty-seven years. Several of 
his descendants, however, are now among the wealthiest families in the State. 
Among others who came at this time was Levi Allen, a brother to Ethan 
and Ira Allen, who laid claim to a large portion of the land in the whole 
township. 

The population of the town gradually increased, until at the taking of the 
first census, in 1791, it had 256 inhabitants. The early settlers suffered the 
usual privations of pioneer life — scarcity of provisions, rude habitations, and 
excessive toil, the nearest flouring mill being at Pittsburgh, N. Y. But 
immigration soon became so rapid that these privations were limited to a 
very few years. The organization of Franklin county and the establishment 
of St. Albans as the shire town, in 1793, lent a great impetus to the advance- 
ment of the town, and extensive improvements were at once instituted. Much 
attention was given to the working of roads, and the fine broad highway 
known as Main street, and Taylor Park, now the chief beauties of the village, 
were laid out at that time. In 1800, the population had increased to 901, an 
increase of nearly 400 per cent in ten years. 



X y6 TOWN OF ST. ALBANS. 

The first town meeting was warned by John White, of Georgia, in 1788, 
the warning reading as follows : — 

" Whereas, More than four of the principal inhabitants of the town of St. 
Albans, in the county of Chittenden, have made application to me to warn a 
town meeting for said town, for the privileges of incorporation and repre- 
sentation, also for regulating the internal town police, the doings of which 
meeting to be confirmed by the general assembly. 

" Therefore, These are to warn the freemen and other inhabitants of St. 
Albans who by law are qualified to vote in town meeting, to meet at the 
dwelling of Jesse Weldon, in said town, on Monday, the 28th day of July, 
1788, at ten o'clock a. m., then and there to choose a moderator to govern 
said meeting. Second, to choose a town clerk, and other town officers for 
the year ensuing. 

"Dated at Georgia, July 12, 1788, and signed JOHN WHITE, 

Ass't Judge." 

Pursuant to this warning, the meeting was called on the time specified, when 

the following officers were elected : Silas Hathaway, moderator ; Jonathan Hoit, 

town clerk ; Jesse Welden, David Odel, and Andrew Potter, selectmen ; and 

Daniel Meigs, constable. At the State election, held on the second of the 

following month, September, the freeman's oath was taken by Daniel Meigs, 

Hananiah Brooks, Ichabod Randal, Simeon Spencer, Jonathan Colvin, Job 

Greene, Solomon Hinds, David Welden, James Tracy, James Thorington, 

William Abby, and William Griffin. An official list of the polls and ratable 

estate of the town for that year was as follows : —

As these were the old colonial pounds, one can easily compute the wealth 
of the town in dollars and cents by multiplying by four. In 1789, the 
grand list had increased to ^540 ; to ^636 5s., in 1790; and ^924 in 
1791, while in 1792, the whole number of taxpayers was sixty, and the list 

aggregated ,£1,178- 

At the next town election, in 1789, the first full board of officers were 
elected, as follows, the meeting being again held at Welden's house : Silas 
Hathaway, moderator ; Jonathan Hoit, town clerk ; Andrew Potter, David 
Powers, and Silas Hathaway, selectmen ; Alfred Hathaway, town treasurer ;

Daniel B. Meigs, constable ; Jonathan Hoit, Alfred Hathaway, and David Pow- 
ers, listers ; Samuel B. Meigs, collector ; David Campbell, grand juror ; Jesse 
Welden pound-keeper ; Andrew Potter, tithingman ; Silas Hathaway, hog 
hayward • Jesse Welden, fence-viewer ; Andrew Potter, Jesse Welden, and 
Benjamin Bradley, surveyors of highways; and Noel Potter, Benjamin Brad- 
ley, and Timothy Winter, petit jurors. The first justice of the peace was 
Jonathan Hoit, chosen in 1786, and who was also elected first representative, 
in 1788. The first birth in the town was that of Limna Potter, who became 
Mrs. Limna Wead. The first males born were John Meigs and Heman 
Greene, though the date of their birth we are unable to state. 

The first record of a store is that of " Capt. Whitney's," probably in 1792 
A Mr. Jackson is said to have had a store here about that time, and afterwards 
came Daniel Ryan, Prince B. Hall, Azro Crane, Seth Pomeroy, John Curtis, 
Anthony Rhodes, Joseph H. Munson, William Foote, and Carter Hickok. 
The first tannery was built by Christopher Dutcher, who located at the Bay in 
1790. On the location of the county seat at St. Albans, he purchasd a farm 
about a mile south of the village, now the property of Benjamin F. Rugg, 
upon which he built a tannery, on what has since been known as Dutcher's 
brook. He was a prominent business man of the town until his death, Feb- 
ruary 4, 18 1 4. The first physician was Dr. John Warner, who came here 
from Bennington, Vt, in 1793. He possessed great knowledge of the medi- 
cinal qualities of the indigenous plants of Vermont, and was exceedingly suc- 
cessful in treating the diseases incident to a new country. The first settled 
minister was Rev. Jonathan Nye, who was ordained pastor of the Congrega- 
tional church, March 5, 1805. The Methodist church was built in 1820. The 
first Episcopal church in 1825. The one now in use in 1 858. The first Congre- 
gational church was built in 1826, the second, being the one now occupied, 
was finished in 1862. The first academy was built in 1800, the second in 
1828, and the third and present spacious and commodious building in 1858. 
The grounds on which the public buildings of the town were to be erected, 
was selected by the voters in town meeting, assembled June 12, 1792. Col. 
Robert Cochran, Capt. Ford, and Stephen Pearl were appointed a committee 
"to set the stake for the center," which was done a few days afterward. 

The few settlers who located here previous to the Revolution, left with the 
commencement of that war, and, it is believed, took an active part therein. 
Many of those who came in after the troubles were settled had fought in its bat- 
tles, and were thus well qualified to take an active part a few years later when 
the war of 1812, was brought upon the country. The trade and business of 
the town was considerably retarded during the existence of the embargo, and 
non-intercourse laws ; but during the war that followed, however, the growth 
and prosperity of the township were advanced rather than impeded. Smug- 
gling was pursued with considerable activity, the extreme scarcity and high 
prices of all foreign goods being such as to justify great risk. Collisions 
between the revenue officers and the smugglers occurred frequently along the

frontier, and in several cases with fatal results. On Sunday, November 3, 
181 1, Harrington Brooks, of St. Albans, a young man twenty-four years of 
age, was shot and instantly killed, while attempting to escape from the cus- 
tom-house officials with a skiff-load of salt. The excitement which followed 
this event, aggravated by the extreme party virulence which at times prevailed 
was very great, and continued for a long time. Mr. Walker, who fired the 
fatal shot, although in obedience to the commands of his superior officer, 
greatly regretted the act. and it cast a shadow over his entire after life. 

In 1813, the third brigade of the third division of the militia of Vermont, 
which included the entire county of Franklin, was called into the active ser- 
vice of the general government, marched out of the State, and was stationed 
at Champlain, N. Y. This act was greatly censured by all parties, as it left 
forty miles of the Vermont frontier denuded of its military force. This gen- 
eral dissatisfaction, together with the thought of the crops they were losing at 
home, caused many of the soldiers to desert. To such an extent did this 
proceed, that only a few over three hundred men were left in the camp. 
Among those who left for their homes was Silas Gates, of this town, a young 
man about twenty years of age, and both physically and morally a splendid 
type of manhood. Sergeant Henry Gibbs and private Alvah Sabin, of Capt. 
Asahel Langworthy's rifle company, were sent by their commanding officers 
to St. Albans to bring back deserters, including young Gates. On the even- 
ing of November 4th, they called upon him at his father's house, and after 
some conversation he agreed to accompany them. The three started from 
the house, and had proceeded but a short distance, when Gates went back 
for something which he said he had forgotten, but, instead of returning, he 
raised a window, passed through, and started off on a run through an orchard 
on the north side of the house. Sabin, being at the corner of the house, dis- 
covered him escaping, and called to him twice to stop, and as he did not 
obey, Sabin finally fired upon him, the ball taking effect above the hip and 
near the spine. He lingered five days and five hours, when he died. Sabin 
was twice tried for murder, but was finally acquitted of all blame. 

The soldiers from Franklin county, however, acquitted themselves with honor 
during the war, and bore an especially honorable part in the great battle of 
Plattsburgh. This battle, which began on Sabbath morning, September n, 
j 814, was in sight from St. Albans, and was watched with intense interest by 
many whose sons, husbands, or brothers were enshrouded in the deep cloud 
that overhung Plattsburgh Bay. The wind blew fresh from the north in the 
morning, and about seven o'clock the town was startled by a tremendious 
cannonade directly west. This was conjectured to be a signal of the ap- 
proach of the fleet, to the army at Plattsburgh, to commence the anticipated 
action. A general movement of the people to the hill-tops then commenced, 
trom which heights the British war-vessels were distinctly seen, bearing a 
southerly course, and at length rounding Cumberland Head. Shortly after 
nine o'clock the action commenced, and Plattsburgh bay was soon covered

with a dense canopy of smoke. The earth trembled under the thunder of 
the broadsides, while the result of the distant battle was awaited with intense 
anxiety. That result, and the consequent glory which has since surrounded 
the name of McDonough, are facts familiar to the general reader. 

From the close of this war, except the excitement attending the rebellion 
of the "Patriots" of Canada against England, in 1837, no military troubles 
disturbed the peace of the town until the breaking out of the late rebellion, 
in 1 86 1. St. Albans did her full share in this trouble, and furnished her full 
quota, both of men and money, with alacrity. On the 19th of October. 
1864, occurred what has since been known as the St. Albans raid. A band 
of rebels, twenty-two in number, came into the village, robbed the banks in 
open daylight, killed one man, and escaped with their plunder into Canada. 
The entire amount taken by the robbers was $208,000.00. They were 
arrested in Canada, examined, and discharged by the magistrates, on the 
ground that it was out of their jurisdiction to hold them, it being in time of 
war. The Canadian government, however, did not sympathize with the mag- 
istrates in their decision. The governor-general, Lord Monck, recommended 
to the Provincial Parliament that they appropriate $50,000.00 in gold to be 
paid to the banks as an equivalent for the money found upon the captured 
robbers, and which had been restored to them by the order of Justice Coursel. 
This was voted by the parliament and paid to the banks, being equivalent 
to $88,000.00 in currency, so that the banks lost but about $120,000.00. 
Many shots were fired by the raiders, and it seems almost a miracle that a 
number of the citizens were not killed or wounded. Elinus J. Morrison, the 
only victim, was a resident of Manchester, N. H., and was engaged as a con- 
tractor in erecting the brick work of the Weiden House. Morrison was in 
the street, and the firing becoming general in his vicinity, he undertook to 
escape into Miss Beattie's millinery store, and had his hand upon the door- 
knob, when one of the robbers, named Young, fired at him, the shot passing 
through his hand into the abdomen. He was taken into the drug store of L. 
L. Dutcher & Son, laid upon a bed, and cared for an hour or so, when he 
was taken to his lodgings at the American Hotel, at which place he died, 
October 21st. Mr. Collins H. Huntington, an old and highly respected citi- 
zen, was also wounded, a ball striking a rib on the left of the spine, following 
it six and one-half inches, leaving a flesh wound only, from which he recov- 
ered in a few days. 

In June, 1866, St. Albans was again the scene of considerable interest and 
excitement, by the concentration here " of the right wing of the army of 
Ireland," more commonly known as the Fenian organization for the invasion 
of Canada. On the 6th of the month they gathered at Franklin, and on the 
7th, their commanding officer, Gen. Spear, ordered an advance, and they 
crossed the line into Canada, where the " head-quarters of the army of 
Ireland" was located, the force amounting to about 1,200 men. The pro- 
ject of invading Canada, however, was given up by them a few days after, 
and the men returned to their homes. 



l8o TOWN OF ST. ALBANS. 



The town has at present two military organizations of which she is justly 
proud, — the " Ransom Guards," and the " Barlow Grays." The Ransom 
Guards were originally organized in 1856, and, in 1861, went out with the 
three month's men in the cause of the Union. After this term of service 
expired, most of the men re-enlisted, and the organization was broken up. 
In 1872, the Guards were re-organized as Co. D, of the National Guard of 
Vermont, with F. Stewart Stranahan, captain; S. H. Wood, first lieutenant; 
and W. H. Farrar, second lieutenant. The company has fifty-one members, 
and has a regular muster annually. The " Barlow Grays " were also organ- 
ized in 1872, and belong to the First Regiment of the National Guard of 
Vermont. The company adopted its title in honor of Hon. Bradley Barlow, 
who took an active interest in the organization, and fitted out one of the 
finest armory's in the State, which the company now occupies, in the Barnes 
Block, on Lake street. The company consists of fifty-one members, accord- 
ing to the laws of the State, with Hiram E. Perkins, captain ; Matt. Gilder, 
first lieutenant ; and William E. Clark, second lieutenant. 

Daniel B. Meigs came to this town in 1785, and, having selected a farm, 
brought his family on the next year. He was the first constable of the town, 
and an active and influential citizen for many years, or until his death, about 
1850. His son, John, is said to have been the first child born of civilized 
parents in St. Albans, while several of his descendants still reside here. 

Capt. Freeborn Potter, from Bennington county, came to St. Albans in

tract of land here. He died November 24, 1831, aged sixty-seven years. 
His son, Hiram, was born in this town May 24, 1799, an< ^ located on road 
42, upon what is known as Hathaway's Point, in 1838, and has since resided 
there, engaged in farming. His son, Hiram, Jr., was born in 1845, and is

sion parties. The grounds are nicely situated for the purpose, lying about 
three miles from St. Albans Bay, and six miles from the village. 

Josiah Coloney, from New Hampshire, came to St. Albans at an early

Nathan Greene, from Rhode Island, came to this town at an early date, 
and during his long life here was known as an active, influential citizen, and 
held many of the town offices. He reared a family of fourteen children, and, 
it is said, used to brag that he had the choice of the town when he selected 
his wife. The humor of the conceit is apparent when it is known that there 
were but two unmarried females in the town at the time, one of whom was a 
half-breed squaw. He rejected the squaw, however, and married the white 
girl, a Miss Susan Alfred, and could not have made a better choice had there 
been many others to choose from. Col. Heman Greene, Nathan's oldest son, 
died at the age of seventy-three or seventy-four, and his funeral was attended 
by his mother. Orrin Greene, son of Job, was born in 1795, on ^ e f arm now

dren. Mr. Whitternore is now eighty-six years of age, one of the most ven- 
erable and respected men of the town. He has been an active member of 
the Congregational church for fifty-six years, and also an active temperance 
worker. Rodney, son of John, was born in 1820, married Maria West, by 
whom he had two sons, and for his second wife, Miss Cora Thorp. He has

William O. Gadcomb was born in Rhode Island, in 1791, and at the age 
of twelve years removed with his step-father, Judge Aldis, to St. Albans. In 
181 1, he commenced the mercantile business, which he continued, with an 
interruption during the war of 181 2, until 1850. His first place of business 
was located a little north of his present residence on Main street, and, in 
1830, he erected the building he now occupies. In 1824, he built the store 
standing just north of the Brainerd Block, which he still owns. He is now, 
at the great age of ninety-two years, the oldest resident of St. Albans. His 
wife, Lydia (Smith) Gadcomb, a native of Hadley, Mass., is an extremely 
clear-minded old lady, and Mr. Gadcomb himself has an unusually bright

Hon. Lawrence Brainerd, for many years a prominent railroad and anti- 
slavery man of St. Albans, was a descendant of William Brainerd, an early 
missionary to the Indians. He was born at East Hartford, Conn., March 
16, 1794, and when nine years of age went to Troy, N. Y., to reside with 
an uncle, and, in 1808, came with him to St. Albans. Here he attended 
and taught school for a time, then engaged as clerk for the late N. W. Kingman, 
several years, at the expiration of which time, in i8t6. he commenced a mer- 
cantile business on his own account, building up a large trade. He also be- 
came prominently identified with the navigation enterprises on Lake Cham- 
plain, building in 1847, the first upper cabin steamer on the lake — the well 
known " United States ;" was president of the first bank of St. Albans, and with 
Messrs. John Smith and Joseph Clark, succeeded in pushing through the 
enterprise of building the Vermont and Canada railroad, which marked 
an era in the progress of St. Albans from which she reckons her present 
prosperity. 

Previous to 1840, Mr. Brainerd was a Whig in politics, though he had, 
however, an inborn dislike for American slavery, and no sooner did an op- 
portunity offer for the expression of his views by ballot, than he availed him- 
self of it. He became an adherent of the Liberty party from its start, and 
was one of the despised 319 of Vermont, who voted for Birney in 1840. 

In 1854, after the death of William Upham, then U. S. senator from Ver- 
mont, he was unanimously chosen by the State legislature, to serve out the 
deceased member's term, being the first senator ever sent on the anti-slavery 
issue. He subsequently received a unanimous nomination for governor, but 
declined the honor. He also served as chirman of the national delegation 
that nominated President Lincoln, there being not a dissenting vote from 
Vermont, and was also at one time president of the American Missionary 
Association. Mr. Brainerd's wedded life was most felicitous. He was mar- 
ried January 16, 1819, to Miss Fidelia BarnettGadcomb, a lady of an unusually 
lovely, Christian character, who died October 18, 1852, after rearing a Mace- 
donian family of twelve children, six of whom are now living, — four sons and 
two daughters. His long and useful life was brought to a close May 9, 1870, 
and his dust now honors with its long repose the sleeping ones of St. Albans 
cemetery. He was for many years an active member of the Congregational 
church, and the beauty of his Christian sentiments and character cannot, 
perhaps, be more aptly expressed than by quoting the following words, found 
written upon a paper in his pocket, after his death : " Evil exists in the world 
that men may grow strong by wrestling with it." 

John W. Hobart, general superintendent of the Central Vermont railroad, 
has for many years been a trusted servant of that corporation, during which 
time he has succeeded not only in building up an excellent reputation with the 
company,but, in serving them faithfully has faithfully served his fellow citizens. 
Mr. Hobart was born at Randolph, Vt., in 1829, and in 1848, began clerking 
for the C. V. R. R., continuing in that capacity about one year, when he was 



l86 TOWN OF ST. ALBANS. 

appointed station agent at Montpelier, remaining there ten years. In 1859, 
he was appointed general freight agent, and in 1874, placed in the important 
position he still occupies. 

Capt. John Gilman, who took a prominent part in local military affairs 
during the first quarter of the present century, came to St. Albans, from 
Epsom, N. H., during the year 1793, in company with his wife and young 
daughter, and his father-in-law, Major Morrill. Margaret Morrill was his 
second wife, by whom he had one son, having had three daughters and three 
sons by a previous marriage. Capt. Gilman was an industrious man of re- 
ligious tendencies, and became a well-to-do farmer, also carrying on a black- 
smith business for many years. He built the large house on Main street, 
now occupied by his descendants, mentioned on a previous page. Capt. Gil- 
man died August 31, 1845, aged seventy-six years, having lived a life that 
endeared him to many, and brightened his pathway to the other world. 

Jonathan M. Blaisdell, the eleventh child of Harvey and Elizabeth Blais- 
dell, was born at London, N. H., March 30, 1789, and came to St. Albans 
at the age of twenty years, in company with Smith Morrill. Here he was 
soon engaged in building houses, having learned the carpenter and joiner 
trade. He was occupied in the lumbering business one year, which, owing to 
losses, did not prove lucrative. In 1812, he was a volunteer, and went to 
Plattsburgh ; being anxious, with some others, to cross the sand-bar to the 
island, he attempted to do so before the moon was up, and came near being 
drowned. At the age of thirty-three years he married Margaret Gilman, 
youngest daughter of Capt. John Gilman, and died in his seventy-seventh 
year, leaving a widow, two daughters and two sons. The following account 
of the incident at the sand-bar was related by him to Miss Hemenway, editor 
of the Vermont Historical Magazine, a number of years ago: — 

"September 14, 181 4. —The day of the election at St. Albans, after the 
election, Sanford Gadcomb, Solomon Walbridge, son of the old sheriff of St. 
Albans, and myself, started to go to Plattsburgh, as soldiers, on horseback, 
through Georgia and Milton. At the sand-bar there (at Milton) we attempted 
to cross over, having stopped a few moments at Fox's tavern, this side of the 
lake. It was a mile across the bar, dark — or only star-light, and I told Gad- 
comb it looked too much like going to sea horse-back in the night, and I did 
not like to cross. The wind blew strong from the north, but Gadcomb 
thought he could cross without difficulty, though the swells ran so high and 
dashed so upon the shore. We urged our horses in with difficulty, but we 
proceeded till we saw a light upon the opposite shore, which we supposed 
had been lighted to pilot us across, and we advanced till about half way over, 
when the water began to deepen, the swells from the north rolling hard 
against us, till our horses drifting off the north side of the bar, were afloat. 
Gadcomb was forward, I in the middle, Walbridge behind, each about 3 
rods distant. Gadcomb undertook to swim his horse forward to shore, Wal- 
bridge behind, said his horse wanted to turn round and go back. My horse 



TOWN OF ST. ALBANS. 1 87 



stood right up and down — in no swimming condition. In about two minutes 
Walbridge cried out, 'My horse touches bottom,' and my horse at once righted 
in a swimming condition and pursued his horse. Meantime I had climbed up- 
on the saddle from which I slid when my horse lost bottom, and we were soon 
back on the bar again where the water was not more than knee-deep to our 
horses. Gadcomb was out of sight and I cried out, ' We are on good ground,' 
but he understood us to cry we were in trouble. Walbridge and I came out 
on shore where we entered, when we repeatedly halloed, and receiving no 
answer from any quarter, supposed Gadcomb was drowned and started to go 
back to Fox's tavern, but on our way through the swamp, moving along 
slowly near the shore, we heard somebody halloo, and answered. The halloo 
was kept up back and forth till we found it was Gadcomb, who had swam 
ashore, on the Point, north, below us, and landed on the most dismal part of 
the swamp. We waited till he came up to us, when we all returned to the 
tavern wet as water could make us, and remained about two hours, till the 
moon was up, and about a hundred had collected to cross ; so that when we 
crossed, which at length was nicely done, the line of them reached clear across 
the bar. After we got over the bar, we went up to the old landlord's who kept 
tavern on South Island, where we stayed the remainder of the night. While 
here, the landlord stated that he hoped we should get whipped by the British, 
and that all would get off from the bar who attempted to cross. This raised 
my ideas, and I told him we should hear no such talk on our route, that we 
were going to Plattsburgh to fight for our country, and we could fight before 
we got there, if necessary, and the effect was sufficient to stop that tory's 
noise. 

We went down the next morning and waited for a sloop to take us across. 
About 2 o'clock P. M., the sloop arrived and took us over to Plattsburgh. 
This was Wednesday. We remained there 'in battle' till Sunday night. 
Sunday, the last day of the battle, the British forded the river against what is 
called Pike's old encampment, with their whole force, 13,000 strong. They 
forded the river, and advanced into the pine plains, where the Ver- 
mont and New York volunteers were distant 80 or 100 rods. The woods 
were full of Vermont and New York volunteers, every man fighting for him- 
self, all on the Irishman's own hook, and we were so hard upon them that 
they were compelled to retreat, and we pursued them like a band of blood- 
hounds back to the river, their dead and wounded scattered along the way. 
In crossing the river they lost many guns and some of the men floated down 
stream, — retreating up the river, the enemy were soon, however, out of our 
sight. 

That night they retreated back to Canada, leaving a good many de- 
serters in the village of Plattsburgh. On their camp-ground their supplies 
were many of them left. On Sunday, the winding up battle-day, about 200 
of us went down from Pike's encampment toward our fort, and when we could 
see a picket guard on the other side of the river, we would fire at him, and

when we could not see a redcoat to fire at, still we would all fire, so as to 
have the enemy understand the woods were all full of soldiers for two miles 
in length along the shore, and when we got opposite Plattsburgh village and 
attempted to cross the bridge, the British poured in a volley upon us. Only one 
was wounded, the bullets passing directly over our heads, one bullet passing 
within 12 inches of me, cutting off a little twig so I could see where the little 
fellow had tripped along. We returned up the river the same way as we came 
down." 

Hon. Bradley Barlow, one of St. Albans' most prominent citizens, was born 
in Fairfield, Vt., May 12, 18 14, and until 1858 was engaged in agricultural 
and mercantile pursuits, when he removed to St. Albans, where he has since 
been engaged in banking and other large business pursuits ; is now president 
of the Vermont National Bank, of St. Albans, and of the South Eastern 
Townships railway, of Canada, and is also pushing rapidly towards comple- 
tion the Canada Junction railway, connecting Sheldon Junction with the 
former road at West Farnham, P. Q. ; he has been six times elected to the 
State house of representatives, and twice elected a State senator ; has been 
twice elected a member of State constitutional conventions — of one of which 
he was assistant secretary ; was for several years county treasurer, and was 
elected to the forty-sixth congress. His residence and grounds on North 
Main street are among the finest in St. Albans. 

Seth Wetmore, a native of Massachusetts, studied law at Middlebury, and 
came to St. Albans to commence practice about the year 1800. After com- 
ing here he married a daughter of Gen. Shepard, of Massachusetts, who sur- 
vived her wedding but a comparatively short time, leaving one son, William 
Shepard Wetmore, who became a wealthy citizen of Newport, R. I. For his 
second wife, he married a sister of Hon. John Smith. Mr. Wetmore was two 
or three times elected a member of the general assembly, and sometime 
previous to 18 10, was elected sheriff of the county, in which official capacity 
he was peculiarly unfortunate, and became a defaulter on an execution for a 
large amount in favor of the Vermont State Bank. By this means he be- 
came embarrassed in his financial affairs, remaining so the rest of his life. He 
again turned his attention to the practice of law, and in 1817, was appointed 
judge of probate, a position he retained until his death. He was also a 
member of the executive council for Franklin county, for a number of years 
in succession. Mr. Wetmore was reputed to be a sound lawyer, and was a 
respectable member of the Methodist church. He died in August, 1830, 
after a lingering illness of a pulmonary character, aged about sixty-five 
years. 

Gen. Levi House, a contemporary of Wetmore, came to St. Albans about 
the time the county was organized, and became a very successful attorney. 
His legal knowledge, however, is said to have been limited, his success being 
attributable more to a rough, aggressive force, than to a talent for the pro- 
fession. At one time he was reported to be quite wealthy, and he built one

189 



of the finest residences in the county at that date, which was destroyed by 
fire in 182 1 ; but becoming somewhat dissolute in his habits, he lost all he 
had, including his reputation as a lawyer, and about the year 1810, removed 
to Canada. He returned subsequently, and died here in 1813. His title of 
General was derived from his being elected Brigadier-General of Militia, a 
position he retained for several years. 

Dr. Hiram Fairchild Stevens was born at St. Albans, August 3, 1825, the 
eldest son of David and Rachel (Fairchild) Stevens. His father died while 
he was attending the Franklin County Grammar School, and at the age of 
fifteen years, by request of his parent, he became a private pupil of Rev. Dr. 
Smith. In August, 1842, he entered the University of Vermont, in the soph- 
more class, but owing to ill health he was obliged to give up the course in 
his senior year. In 1849, ne entered the office of Dr. John L. Chandler, and 
commenced the study of medicine. During his course of study, he attended 
lectures at Pittsfield, Mass., Woodstock, Vt., and at the College of Physicians 
and Surgeons, in the city of New York, whence he took the degree of Doctor 
of Medicine, in March, 1850. In 1852, his health again began to fail, and 
in the autumn of that year he went to Florida. The winter following he spent 
in Charleston, S. C, where his health became so much improved that he re- 
turned in the spring of 1854, and commenced the practice of medicine in 
his native town. This he continued with remarkable success until his death, 
of typhoid fever, January 15, 1866. 

Nathaniel B. Eldridge, a native of Connecticut, came to St. Albans in 
181 1, and during the winter of that year was admitted to the bar of Frank- 
lin county, and commenced practice at St. Albans. In 18 16, he married 
Eliza, daughter of Joseph Jones, who survived her husband's death many 
years. Mr. Eldridge's health began to fail, and in 1819, he sailed for France, 
hoping its climate would benefit him, which it seemed to do for a time, but 
about a year after his return, in the summer of 1821, he died of consumption. 

Joshua K. Smedley was born in Georgia, Vt., about the year 1784. He 
studied law with Benjamin Swift, and was admitted to the bar in 1809. Dur- 
ing the winter of the following year, he entered into partnership with Gen. 
Elias Fassett, of this town, and removed to the village, where he and his 
partner continued in practice for several years, or until the partnership was 
dissolved by the removal of Mr. Fassett to Chittenden county. Mr. Smed- 
ley continued in business here afterwards for a considerable time, first alone, 
and then in connection with Henry Adams until the summer of 1828, when 
he was attacked with a violent fever, of which he died. Mr. Smedley repre- 
sented the town in the legislature in 181 7, and was never married. 

Dea. Horace Janes, son of Jonathan and Martha Janes, was born at Brim- 
field, Mass., September 18, 1781, and came to St. Albans early in the pres- 
ent century. He was postmaster of the town from 1807 to 1829, and clerk 
of the court from 1816, to the close of his life. August 30, 1827, he was 
elected one of the deacons of the Congregational church, and afterwards con- 



190

tinued active and faithful in the duties pertaining to that office. Dea. Janes 
was noted for his Christian benevolence and generosity, and died truly 
lamented, March 15, 1834. 

Hon. Bates Turner, a native of Canaan, Conn., was born in October, 1760. 
At the age of sixteen years he entered the army of the Revolution, where he 
was exposed to many hardships and dangers. After the close of the war he 
entered upon a course preparatory to the profession of law. He entered the 
celebrated law school of Judges Reeves and Gould, of Litchfield, and after 
the usual course of study was admitted to the bar. Soon after his admission, 
he removed to Vermont, locating in Fairfield in 1796. In 1798, he removed 
to St. Albans, and, in 1804, formed a co-partnership with Asa Aldis, which 
continued but a few years, when Mr. Turner returned to Fairfield. He here 
established a law school which became quite popular. In 18 12, he moved to 
Middlebury, Vt., intending to establish a school there, but not meeting with 
sufficient encouragement, he returned to Fairfield, remaining until i8i5,when 
he again took up his residence in St. Albans. In 1827, and again in 1828, he 
was elected a judge of the supreme court. At the expiration of the second 
term he returned to his profession again and never left it until the close of his 
life. He died April 30, 1847. Mr. Turner was twice married, his first wife, 
Mrs. Persis Humphry, of Providence, R. I., dying in 1814. In 1815, he 
married Mrs. Sarah Webb, of North Hero, who died in August, 1839. 

Hon. John Smith, the youngest son of Dea. Samuel and Mrs. Patience 
Smith, and father of John G. and Worthington C. Smith, of St. Albans, was 
born at Barre, Mass., August 12, 1789. When John was eleven years of 
age, his father purchased a farm in the southeastern part of St. Albans, and 
immigrating thither from Massachusetts, settled thereon. Land titles in the 
northern part of the State were at that time decidedly insecure, and through 
some flaw Dea. Smith was deprived of his. After losing his property he 
removed to the village. Here John was allowed the slender educational 
advantages the place at that time afforded, after which he entered upon the 
study of the law in the office of his brother-in-law, Roswell Hutchins. His 
subsequent legal studies, however, were mainly prosecuted in the office of 
Hon. Benjamin Swift. In i8jo, he was admitted to the bar, and soon after 
entered into a copartnership with Judge Swift. The firm thus existed for a 
period of seventeen years, during which time it gained an extended reputa- 
tion for legal soundness and ability, and did a large amount of remunerative 
business. At the expiration of this time, Mr. Smith having entered quite 
extensively into politics, the partnership was dissolved. In the meantime he 
had represented St. Albans in the legislature nine successive years, and, in 
1826, was elected State's attorney, in which capacity he served six years. In 
183 1, 1832, and 1833, he was speaker in the general assembly, and from 
1839 to 1 84 1, was a representative to Congress from Vermont, after which, 
until 1 846, he resumed his legal pursuits. In this latter year began the labor 
that was continued to the end of his life, and which, as a climax to what he

T 9 I 



had already done, has caused the people of Franklin county to revere his 
memory as one of their greatest benefactors, — indeed, the whole State will 
always be indebted to him and his colleagues, (see page 30,) for the active 
employment of their time, money and influence for a series of years while 
achieving a connecting link between the great roads of the West, and the 
Vermont Central on the East, while the county is indebted to his forecast 
and sagacity for the stimulus given to the development of her agricultural and 
manufacturing resources. The old Vermont and Canada railroad should now 
stand as a monument to his earnest struggles and ultimate triumph, for the 
exhaustive and perplexing labors of which that road was the fruit, caused his 
sudden death, in 1858. A beautiful memorial-stone of white marble, in the 
St. Albans cemetery, indicates the spot where the mortal remains of this 
public benefactor repose, upon which is inscribed the following epitaph : 

IN MEMORY OF 

JOHN SMITH. 

Born at Barre, Mass., August 12, 1789. 

Died at St. Albans, Vt., November 20, 1858. 

His private virtues, and the graces 

of a well ordered Christian life, 

endeared him to his family and 

friends, and qualified him 

for the distinguished position which 

he occupied at the Bar, and for 

the many offices of public 

and political trust which 

were bestowed 

upon him. 

Mr. Smith was married September 18. 1814, to Miss Maria W. Curtis, of 
Troy, N. Y., with whom he passed a most happy wedded life, and the follow- 
ing year, December 31st, he united with the Congregational church, remain- 
ing an active member and warm friend of that society until his death. 

Nehemiah W. Kingman, a native of Canaan, N. Y., came to St. Albans 
soon after the year 1 800. Mr. Kingman was a hatter by trade, and for a 
considerable time worked at his trade here, but finally gave up that business 
and devoted his attention to mercantile pursuits, acquiring thereby an ample 
fortune. In 1805, he married Miss Almira Humphrey a step-daughter of 
Judge Turner, who died in 1816. In 1820, he was again married, to Miss 
Thankful Stone, who died in 1855. Mr. Kingman died in 1845, aged about 
sixty-five years. 

Dr. Julius Hoyt, father of Hon. Romeo H. Hoyt, of St. Albans, and son of 
Samuel Hoyt, of Guilford, Conn., was born at Sunderland, Vt., November 26,

TOWN OF ST. ALBANS. 



1778. When seventeen years of age he went to live with his brother Joseph, 
who had settled in Westford, Vt., in which place he taught school. From 
Westford he went to Arlington, where he studied medicine with Dr. Todd. 
After he had completed his studies he entered into partnership with his cousin, 
John Wilcox, in the druggist business, and removed to Vergennes. In July, 
1802, he came to St. Albans and established himself as a physician and drug- 
gist, on the corner of South Main and Nason streets. The practice of medi- 
cine was soon relinquished, and his stock of goods was extended to the usual 
assortment of a country store. On September 15, 1805, he was united in 
marriage with Miss Jemima Taylor, daughter of Col. Holloway Taylor. He 
died November 14, 1852, ending an honorable, Christian life. Hon. Romeo 
H. Hoyt, one of St. Albans most venerable citizens, was born in 1810, 
graduated from Middlebury College in 1830, and subsequently from the New 
Haven Law School, commencing the practice of law soon after, following the 
profession with great success for many years. He was elected to the State 
senate in 1853-54, has been judge of the county court, and held many other 
offices of honor and trust, honoring the positions as the positions have hon- 
ored him. He now resides in modest retirement on North Main street, aged 
over three-score years and ten. 

Hon. John Gregory Smith seems to have received his father's fallen mantle 
of untiring energy and far-reaching forecast. Like his father he too adopted 
the profession of law, being admitted to the bar in 1841, and like the father 
he also relinquished its practice to launch into extensive railroad enterprises. 
The great power exerted and the many millions of dollars invested by the 
Central Vermont Railroad Co., of which Mr. Smith is president, is largely 
owing to his great executive ability. Few there are who could have built up 
such an enterprise. That Mr. Smith also shares the public confidence that 
was bestowed upon his father, is attested by the many positions of honor he 
has enjoyed, having been raised to the highest office in the gift of his native 
State, — the gubernatorial chair. In his private life, Governor Smith is a most 
courteous and kindly gentleman, the admired center of a host of friends. His 
house and grounds, located on the corner of Smith and Congress streets, are 
among the finest in the State, while they afford a view of the surrounding lake 
and mountain scenery that is probably surpassed by none in the country. 

Hon. Worthington C. Smith, another son of John, is one of the prominent 
citizens of St. Albans, being proprietor of the St. Albans foundry, manager of 
the Missisquoi railroad, president of the Vermont Atwood Merino Sheep 
Club, etc. He was born in this village, April 23, 1823, graduated from the 
University of Vermont in 1843, studied law, but abandoned the profession 
and became an iron merchant and manufacturer. In 1863, he was sent as 
representative to the legislature of the State; in 1864-65, to the State Senate, 
officiating during the last session as president of the senate; and, in 1866, he 
was elected a representative from Vermont, to the fortieth congress, serving on 
the committees on manufactures and on weights and measures.

(BENJAMIN F. RUGG.) 

Benjamin Franklin Rugg, son of Capt. Alexander Rugg, of Fairfax, was 
born in that town June 8, 1820. In early life he followed the occupation of 
farming, though he was a cripple for many years, from the effects of a scald 
received during boyhood. In 1852, he came to St. Albans, and in company 
with A. G. Soule, of Fairfield, commenced buying butter, and became one of 
the principal founders of the St. Albans butter market, which has since be- 
come so noted. During the same year, Hiram B. Soule joined the firm, 
which existed about three years, when the partnership was dissolved. Dur- 
ing this time, however, Mr. Rugg had displayed so much sagacity and ability 
as a buyer, that Mr. O. A. Burton, then president of the Franklin County 
Bank, offered him all the financial assistance he required to prosecute an ex- 
tensive business. Soon after this he began to deal largely in cattle, horses, 
sheep, wool, produce, and real estate, his transactions during some seasons 
averaging $6,000.00 per day. He often engaged in large ventures in joint 
account with firms in the cities. In 1864, he formed a co-partnership with 
M. G. Elliott, and his son-in-law, R. B. Kennison, in a general mercantile 
business, the partnership existing about ten years. Since 1875, in connection 
with his nephew, J. E. Rugg, he has owned and operated a sheep ranch in 
Wyoming Territory. His flock has increased rapidly, and notwithstanding 
the loss of 4,000 sheep and one man, perishing in a snow storm, he has sold 
during the past year $18,000.00 worth of sheep, and during two years $20,- 
000.00 worth of wool. He also deals largely in cattle, but gave up the butter 
trade some time ago. Mr. Rugg has done much towards building up the vil- 
lage of St. Albans, having erected about fifty dwellings and two stores, one of 
the latter being the first built on Lake street, in i860, and at that time thought 
by many to be a wild scheme. During that year he also opened and built up 
the street that bears his name. Our engraving represents Mr. Rugg at fifty 
years of age.

Joshua Montefiore was born in England, graduated from Oxford college, 
and adopted the profession of law, in which he became quite learned, and 
wrote several works on the subject. In early life he entered the English 
army as captain of the 17th Light Infantry, and subsequently came to this 
country, and in 1827, removed to St. Albans, from New York city. He was 
twice married, his first wife being a sister of Sir John Russell, Bart., while he 
was a brother of the English philanthropist, Sir Moses Montefiore, who is 
now living. Mr. Montefiore died at an advanced age, on the farm now 
occupied by his widow, leaving several children, among whom were H. Mon- 
tefiore, a farmer, J. H. Montefiore, an attorney-at-law of St. Albans, Mrs. 
White Cleveland, of Georgia, and Mrs. C. V. Ross, of Moriah, N. Y. 

William Fuller, born at Reading, N. H., in 1798, came to St. Albans when 
a young man, learned the harness maker's trade, married Eliza, daughter of 
Nathan Greene, and kept the hotel known as the Danforth Hotel. About 
the year 1830, he moved into the house number 102 Main street, and opened 
a harness shop at 104 Main street, and commenced keeping a livery stable 
the same year, it being the first livery kept in town. He continued in the 
livery business until his death, which occurred in April, 1875. His son, 
E. D. Fuller, born in 1833, always lived at home, with the exception of four 
years spent in the West, 1854, to 1859, but was engaged in the same business 
while away, so in fact has always been in the livery business. He entered 
into partnership with William Fuller, in 1854, keeping two stables at that 
time, one at 104 Main street, and the other at the American House. The 
business increased rapidly, so that at one time, in 1870, and 187 1, he kept 
seventy-two horses. He is now alone in the business, keeping from thirty- 
five to fifty horses, though he makes a specialty of keeping horses for sale, 
disposing of from seventy-five to eighty-five per year, fine bred stock. 

William Wright was born in Scotland in 1814, and came to this country in 
1829. He located for a time in Montreal, where he learned the molder's 
trade, and from there came to this State, finally locating at St. Albans in 
1842, where he has since resided, following his trade. He has been married 
three times and reared a family of eleven children. 

John Locke Chandler was born March 4, 1793, at Pawlet, Vt., the eldest 
son of Benjamin Chandler, a very eminent physician and surgeon, the most 
distinguished of any in Northern Vermont. He was a pioneer who has left 
his impress upon many institutions of the State, — its colleges and medical 
societies especially. John's mother was Caroline Bushnell, daughter of 
Benajah Bushnell, who came from Norwich, Conn., to Pawlet the same year 
of John's birth. His parents brought him into the woods of Fairfield, where 
his father had decided to settle, thinking it would become the county-seat of 
Franklin county. They lived at first in a blacksmith shop, until they could 
build a log house, and afterwards built a better house in which they lived 
until 1807, when they removed to St. Albans, where the father died, Decem- 
ber 14, 1818, at the age of forty-six years, and where Dr. J. L. Chandler still 



TOWN OF ST. ALBANS. igij 



resides. Previous to this removal to St. Albans, John had studied with the 
well-known Father Wooster, an eccentric, but thoroughly educated man. 
He had also studied the classics under Charles Adams, a teacher from Bur- 
lington. On arriving at St. Albans, fourteen years of age, he attended the 
academy, becoming a good Latin scholar, with a slight knowledge of Greek. At 
the age of nineteen he was sent to Burlington, under the care of Rev. Dr. 
Saunders, the first president of # the University of Vermont, as his private pupil. 
After a course of study for six months, he had an inclination to study law, 
and went to Vergennes and read some law books, but soon returned to his 
father's office and read medicine. He commenced practice in St. Albans, 
but after one year removed to Pawlet, his native town, where he remained 
four years, then returned to St. Albans, in 1823, where he has since resided. 
He has been one of the most eminent physicians of Vermont, a man of solid 
attainments and sterling integrity. He has also been known as a man of 
correct literary taste. He wrote much for medical journals, and often upon 
other that medical subjects. He was fond of poetry, and many poems of his 
are well worthy of preservation. He married in early life Sabina Curtis, a 
most estimable woman, sister of the mother of Hon. J. G. and W. C. Smith. 
They had several children, only two of whom are now living, Mrs. C. N. 
Bishop and Mrs. George Farrar. Dr. Chandler is now eighty-nine years of 
age, and has been honored during his active life with many positions of trust 
and responsibility, and well has he performed his life duties. Old age finds 
him enjoying the gratitude of his fellow citizens and the consciousness of a 
life well spent. 

Rev. Worthington Smith, D. D., son of Deacon Seth and Lydia Smith, 
was born at Hadley, Mass., October 1 1, 1795. His ancestors had lived upon 
the farm where he was born from the first settlement of that town, in 1659, 
and it still remains in the possession of members of the family. He entered 
Williams College in the year 1813, graduated in 1816, and during the same 
year made a profession of religion by joining the Congregational church of 
Hadley. Having decided to become a minister, he entered the theological 
seminary at Andover, in the autumn of 18 16, where he completed the course 
in 18 19. After filling the office of principal of the academy at Hadley, for 
one year, he came to St. Albans, in the month of August, 1822, and on June 
4, 1823, was ordained pastor of the Congregational church here. He mar- 
ried Miss Mary Ann Little, July 1, 1823. In August, 1845, ^ e received the 
degree of Doctor of Divinity, and in 1849, was appointod president of the 
University of Vermont, entering upon the duties of the charge in August of 
that year. In 1853, his health began to fail, and in 1855, he resigned the 
the presidency. His death occurred soon after his leaving the college, Feb- 
ruary 13, 1856, aged sixty-one years. Dr. Smith left a more decided and 
enduring impression on the public mind, probably, than any other man who 
ever lived in St. Albans. His ministry covered a period of twenty-seven 
years, during which time, with a few exceptions only, he produced two finished 
sermons each week, which he delivered to his people.

Hon. Homer E. Royce, the present chief justice of the State, a nephew 
and heir of the late Ex-Gov. Stephen Royce, of Berkshire, was born in Berk- 
shire, Vt, 1819, received a common school education, studied law, and was 
admitted to the bar in 1842. He was a member of the State legislature in 
1846 and 1847, was prosecuting attorney for the State in 1848, State senator 
in 1849, 1850 and 1851, and elected a representative from Vermont to the 
thirty-fifth congress, serving as a member of the committee on foreign affairs. 
He was re-elected to the thirty-sixth congress, serving as a member of the 
same committee, and was a delegate to the Philadelphia " Loyalist's Conven- 
tion" of 1866. Upon the death of Chief Justice Pierpont, January 7, 1882, 
he was elevated to the chief justiceship, which office he still retains. 

Judge Asa Aldis was born in the town of Franklin, Norfolk county, Mass., 
in 1770. His father died when Asa was but five years of age, leaving him to 
the care of a maternal aunt, in whose family he lived until fourteen years 
old. In 1792, he entered Rhode Island College, now called Brown University, 
and graduated therefrom in 1796. He then commenced the study of law in 
the office of Judge Howell, of Providence, R. I. After his admission to the 
bar, he practiced his profession in the village of Chepachet, two or three 
years, and in the mean time married a daughter of Lieut. Governor Owen, she 
being then the widow of a Mr. Gadcomb, (father of W. O. Gadcomb,) who 
had died some years previous. In 1802, he came to this town, and soon af- 
ter formed a partnership with Bates Turner, though the partnership lasted 
but a short time, when Mr. Turner removed to Eairfield. In 181 5, he was 
elected chief justice of the supreme court. In 1832, he took his son Asa O. 
Aldis, into partnership with him. Gradually, however, Judge Aldis grew 
weary of the profession, and several years previous to his death turned the 
whole business over to his son. He died October 16, 1847, after a some- 
what lingering illness, in the seventy-eighth year of his age. Judge Aldis was 
a most exemplary citizen, and possessed a powerful intellect, so that his opinion 
and judgment in litigated questions always had great weight with his asso- 
ciate counsel, as well as with the litigant parties. 

The Congregational Church of St. Albans, located on Church street, corner 
of Bank, was organized January 2, 1803, and consisted of the following named 
persons : Samuel Smith, Patience Smith, Paul Brigham, Fanny Brigham, 
Antipas Brigham, John Hastings, Samuel Sumner, Lucy Farrar, and Noah 
Ripley. The first pastor, Rev. Jonathan Nye, was ordained March 5, 1805. 
The society is at present very large and in a flourishing condition, with 
Rev. Charles Van Norden, pastor. The present church edifice, a fine brick 
building capable of seating 750 persons, was built in 1863, at a cost of 
$30,000.00. 

The Methodist Episcopal Church, located on Church street, was organized 
by Elder Henry Stead and Rev. Almond Dunbar, in 1815, and consisted of 
about seventy-five members. The first church building was erected in 1819, 
a brick structure, which through various remodellings did service until 1875,

when the present edifice was constructed, at a cost of $30,000.00. It will 
accommodate 500 persons and is now valued at $35,000.00. The society 
has at present 300 members, with Rev. N. F. Perry, pastor. 

St. Luke's Parish Protestant Episcopal Church, located on the corner of 
Church, Fairfield, and Bishop streets, was* organized by Mr. Ashbel Smith 
and others, to the number of fifteen, August 26, 1816, Rev. Stephen Beach 
being the first rector. The first church building was erected in 1825, a wood 
structure, which gave place to the present beautiful stone building in i860, 
which will seat 400 persons, cost $14,000.00, and is now valued at $15,000.00. 
The society has 320 members, with Rev. Thomas Burgess, rector. 

The St. Albans Bay Methodist Episcopal Church was organized by its 
pastor, Rev. Simeon Gardner, with twelve members, in 1856. A church 
building was erected the following year, of wood, and gave place to the 
present brick structure in 1874, which will seat 300 persons, cost $2,000.00, 
and is now valued at $3,500.00. The society has at present eighty-two 
members, with Rev. A. W. Ford, pastor. 

The Holy Guardian Angels' Catholic Church, located^on Lake street, 
corner of Eden, was organized by its present pastor, Rev. George N. Caissy, 
in 1872. Their church building, a large brick structure capable of seating 
1, 100 persons, was erected during the same year, costing $7,000.00, and is 
now valued at $13,500.00. The parish now has about 400 families. 

The Church of the Immaculate Conception, (Roman Catholic), located 
on Fairfield street, corner of Thomas, has about 900 communicants. It has 
also under its charge a convent, where a school is taught by eight sisters 
from the congregation of Notre Dame, of Montreal. Both French and Eng- 
lish branches are taught, the school having about twenty-five boarders and 
150 day scholars. The beautiful grounds whereon the convent is situated, 
comprising about two acres, were bought of Hon. Bradley Barlow, Septem- 
ber 10, 1869, costing $20,000.00; the buildings cost $8,000.00; a school- 
house for boys, erected in 1874, cost $2,500.00, and a parsonage, built in 
1866, cost an additional $5,000.00, all of which are paid for, excepting 
$6,800.00, yet due. The society is under the charge of the Very Rev. 
Z. Druon, Vicar-General. 

The Eirst Universalist Church, located on Bishop street, although it has 
not been formally organized as a church society, has in process of erection a 
fine brick edifice, which will soon be completed, and is intended to cost 
$10,000.00. 

The First Baptist Church, located on Congress street, was organized 
with twenty-one members, in 1868. Rev. D. M. Bigelow was the first pas- 
tor. The society now has 150 members, with Rev. G. S. Pratt, pastor. The 
church building, a handsome brick structure capable of seating 450 persons, 
was built in 1874, at a cost of $36,000.00. 



198 TOWN OF SWANTON. 



(Q? WANTON, one of the most important towns of the county, lies in the 
S northwestern part, in lat. 44 53', and long. 3 54', bounded on the 
W north by Highgate, east by Sheldon and Fairfield, south by St. Albans, 
and west by the waters of Lake Champlain. It was granted by the Province 
of New Hampshire, to Isaiah Goodrich and sixty-three associates, August 17, 
1763, as a township of 26,040 acres, intended, evidently, to be square in out- 
line, but which in reality is exceedingly irregular. On November 3, 1836, a 
portion of Highgate was annexed to the town, since which time no change has 
been made in its area. The town is said to have received its name in honor 
of Capt. William Swanton, an officer in the British service during the French 
and Indian war. He took an active part in the reduction of Louisburgh, in 
1758, and after the war, in 1762, took up his residence at Bath, Me., where 
he remained until his death. 

In surface, Swanton is varied, some portions being broken and rocky, 
while others are depressed into low, marshy swamp-land. In the southeast- 
ern part of the town, there is a high elevation known as Swanton Hill, the 
lower lands to the north and south of which are designated as East Swanton. 
About two miles west of this hill, near the center of the town, there is another 
ridge, or elevation of land, called Swanton Center. The whole of the ex- 
treme western part of the territory is a delta, formed between Maquam bay 
and the Missisquoi river. This portion of land, called West Swanton, was 
formerly an island, formed by Maquam creek flowing from the bay to the 
river. A sand-bar, however, has formed at the mouth of the creek, so that 
the land is completely surrounded hy water only a small part of the year. 
West Swanton was formerly called Hog Island, so named, it is said, from 
the fact that at an early day it was customary to drive hogs there, and let 
them remain during a full season or more to fatten upon the butternuts, 
beechnuts, walnuts and acorns, all of which were very plentiful. The name 
is a vulgar one, however, and that of West Swanton, which has been adopted 
in its stead, is far more agreeable to sensitive ears. 

Several streams, or brooks, are distributed over the surface of the territory, 
but the only water-course of importance is the Missisquoi river. It enters 
Swanton from the east, about two miles from the village, and, after making a 
detour called the Bow, encircling three or four square miles, including Swan- 
ton village on its east bank, it strikes the line of Highgate again, about two 
miles from the village, whence it separates Swanton from Highgate. It emp- 
ties into Missisquoi bay, having three principal mouths, called the South, 
Middle, and East Branches, through which the water flows at all times, while 
there are three or four other outlets during high water, at which times it usual- 
ly overflows its banks. Some three or four miles from its mouth, the waters 
from the western bank find their way into Missisquoi bay, by way of the creek 
of that name, and also into Charcoal creek, which is some three-quarters of a 
mile south of, and flowing nearly parallel with, the river. The waters from 
the eastern bank find their way through the Dead creek into Goose bay. The

river is navigable for canal boats and sloops during the early part of the sea- 
son, when the waters of the lake set back to the falls, where the village is 
situated. At low-water the sand-bar at the mouth of the river prevents 
navigation by large crafts. 

The soil of the town is generally good, though considerable swamp-land is 
encountered, especially in West Swanton. In the central and southern por- 
tions it is gravelly. Fair crops of the cereals incident to the latitude are 
grown. The original timber is mostly beech, birch, pine, hemlock, hickory, 
and cedar. 

Geologically, the formation of the town varies considerably. The whole of 
the western portion, from the lake to Swanton village, overlies an immense 
bed of Hudson river slates. This formation is followed by a parallel range of 
Hudson river limestone, containing some excellent varieties of marble and an 
abundant supply of excellent material for the manufacture of lime. Then 
comes a range of red sandrock, next a bed of Georgia slates, followed by a 
vein of quartz rock, and finally a formation of talcose conglomerate, underlying 
the extreme eastern portion of the town. Iron ore has been discovered in some 
portions of the town, and the mines were formerly worked to some extent. 

Excellent facilities for the transportation of products are afforded, as the 
town is traversed by four railroad lines : The Missisquoi, passing across the 
eastern portion ; the Vermont & Canada, entering St. Albans from the south, 
and crossing from West Swanton into Alburgh ■ the Montreal & Vermont 
Junction line, extending north into Highgate, from Swanton Junction • and 
the St. Johnsbury & Lake Charnplain road, extending from Maquam bay, 
east, through Swanton village into Highgate. A brief sketch of all these rail- 
roads is given on page 30, so we will omit their further mention here. 

In 1880, Swanton had a population of 3,083, was divided into seventeen 
school districts, and contained eighteen common schools, employing four male 
and twenty female teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary of $2,880.60. 
There were 620 pupils attending common school, while the entire cost of the 
schools for the year, ending October 31st, was $3,294.94, with Henry A. 
Burt, Jr., superintendent. 

Swanton, a post village located in the northern part of the town, on the 
Missisquoi river, and also a station on the Vermont & Canada, and St. Johns- 
bury & Lake Charnplain railroads, has an excellent mill privilege afforded by 
the falls in the river at this point. The village is second in size only to St. 
Albans, and contains five churches, (M. E., Baptist, Episcopal, Congrega- 
tional, and Catholic,) a Custom House, public hall, bank, graded school, 
Catholic convent, two marble manufactures, two planing-mills and sash manu- 
factories, two grist-mills, three saw-mills, two spring-bed factories, two hotels 
a tannery, plaster-mill, suspender manufactory, two hardware stores, two 
clothing stores, a jewelry store, two meat markets, a harness shop, four black- 
smith shops, three dry goods stores, two drug stores, four grocery stores, two 
barber shops, two fancy goods stores, two tailor shops, two furniture stores,

and one photograph gallery, and also supports two newspapers and three 
lawyers. 

East Swanton, (p. o.) a hamlet and station on the Missisquoi railroad, in 
the eastern part of the town, contains a church (Baptist,) postoffice, and half 
a dozen dwellings. 

Swanton Center, (p. o.) a hamlet located a little east of the center of the 
town, contains a carriage shop, blacksmith shop, and half a dozen dwellings. 

Swanton Junction, (p. o.) a hamlet and station on the V. & C. R. R., 
located in the southern part of the town, contains about a dozen dwellings 
and the lime kilns of C. H. Rich and W. B. Fonda. 

Maquam, a hamlet located on the lake shore, is the western terminus of 
the S. J. & L. C. R. R., and the port-entry of the town. It contains the 
wharves and railroad buildings, a hotel, and a few dwellings. 

George and R. Lester Barney's marble mi/Is, located on Barney street, at 
Swanton village, were established by George Barney, the senior partner of the 
present firm, in 1840. Mr. Barney conducted the business until 1854, and then 
took William H. Blake into partnership, under the firm name of Blake & 
Barney. From 1859 to 1865, the business was entirely in the hands of Mr. 
Barney, as manager, with A. M. Clark, as partner; but from that date to 
1873, Mr. Barney was sole proprietor. His son and son-in-law. R. Lester 
Barney and E. P. Parsons, then became connected with the business, under 
the firm name of George Barney & Sons. This partnership was continued 
only two years, when Mr. Barney again assumed entire control, retaining the 
same until 1879, at which time the present firm was established. The mills 
are operated by water-power, and have had their capacity increased from time 
to time until they now furnish employment to about thirty men. The special 
manufacture of the firm is flooring tile, from black, white, French-gray, dove, 
red-variegated, Le Panto, Lyonaise, and American-Italian marble, though 
monumental and other cemetery work is manufactured, amounting to about 
$25,000.00 per annum. 

Calvin R. Hogle's marble and granite works, located at Swanton village, 
were established by J. D. Perry, in the autumn of i860. After the death of 
Mr. Perry, in 1867, R. L. Barney assumed the control of the business, which 
he continued until June, 1881, when the present proprietor took the 
property. He employs four men and manufactures $6,000.00 worth of 
monuments and headstones annually. 

Atwood &> Willard's suspender manufactory, located on Merchants' Row, 
at Swanton village, was established in January, 1882. The firm employs 
about sixty hands in the manufacture of Eclipse suspenders, shoulder braces, 
and hose and skirt supporters. 

fames Ballard's carriage shop and undertaking rooms were established by 
Daniel Bullard, Jr., and his sons, George and James, in 1852. They con- 
tinued the business in partnership about six years, when the firm was changed 
to G. & J. Bullard, remaining thus about twelve years, since which time the 
business has been conducted by the present proprietor.

The Champlain Marble Lime Company, located at Swanton village, have 
a side track running from their works to the St. J. & L. C. R. R., which are 
arranged with every convenience for prosecuting the business. The business 
is managed by E. W. Jewett, and operates four kilns, with a capacity of 200 
casks of lime per day, made from dove-colored marble. The firm is at pres- 
ent doing a business of about 30,000 casks per annum. 

William O. Smith s sash, blind and door manufactory, located at Swanton 
village, was established in 1873. Mr. Smith employs six men, and does a 
business of from $10,000.00 to $12,000.00 per annum. 

Clark H. Bulterf eld's sash, door and blind manufactory, located at Swanton 
village, is one of the oldest established manufactories in Swanton. Mr. Clark 
employs four men, and does a business of about $10,000.00 per year. 

The Blake Block, an ornament to the town, was built by William H. 
Blake, in 1877, replacing an old wooden structure then destroyed by fire.

The block is a handsome, durable structure, divided on the ground floor into 
three commodious stores. Mr. Blake, the builder of the block, occupies the 
south store with a full line of heavy and shelf hardware, stoves, etc. He has 
in his trade the advantage gained from years of experience. Mr. B. B. Blake 
has the center store filled with dry goods, groceries, boots and shoes, etc. 
Mr. S. S. Morey occupies the north store with a full line of ladies' furnishing 
goods. He has been engaged in business at Swanton for a period of 
twenty-five years, and since 1877, in the store he now occupies. 

Asahel A. Brooks commenced the manufacture of rubber-bucket chain 
pumps, at Swanton village, in 1875, using the Cooper bucket, with side leak, 
of which Mr. Brooks owns the patent for eight counties in the State.

president was George W. Green, who soon after resigned. Joseph Blake 
succeeded him, and continued to hold the office until February 15, 1866, at 
which time the name of the bank was changed to the one it now bears. Upon 
the resignation of Mr. Blake, Hon. William L. Sowles was chosen president, 
and Albert Sowles, of St. Albans, now fills the office. The cashiers have 
been, E. A. Kendrick, from 1851 to '53; V. P. Noyes, '53 to '54; Thomas 
M. Benton, '54 to '55; N. A. Lasell, from July 29, '55, to January 12, 1869, 
when E. M. Sowles was appointed and held the office until January, 1872, 
after which G. W. Beebe was chosen, and continues to hold the office at the 
present time. 

That the banks of the Missisquoi were settled upon by Jesuit missionaries 
at a very early date, not far from 1730, is proven by facts indubitable, and 
there is evidence to show that the region was visited by the Anglo-Saxon 
away back among the centuries to the year 1564. In December, 1853, while 
Mr. Orlando Green was engaged in excavating sand from the left bank of the 
Missisquoi, about half a mile south of the village, he discovered a piece of 
lead tube about five inches in length imbedded in the earth, which, upon in- 
vestigation, proved to contain a very interesting document. It was a record 
written upon paper such as was used for commercial purposes in the sixteenth 
century, and of which the following is an exact copy : — 

" Nov. 29 A D 1564 

" This is the solme day I must now die this is the 90th day since we lef the 
Ship all have Parished and on the Banks of this River I die to farewelle may 
future Posteritye know our end Johne Grave." 

Many doubted the authenticity of the document, but Rev. J. B. Perry, the 
thorough scholar who assisted in writing the history of Swanton for Miss 
Hemenway's work, investigated the matter thoroughly, and pronounced it no 
hoax. A very interesting article on the subject, written by Mr. Perry, may be 
found in the above mentioned work. If the record was really written by 
Johne Graye then, so many years ago, it establishes at once, not only who 
the discoverer of Swanton was, but that Samuel De Champlain was not the 
first to discover the territory of Vermont, as the death of this unfortunate 
English sailor antedates Champlain's voyage up the lake by nearly half a 
century. A certainty of the authenticity of this ancient document, however, 
will probably never be arrived at. 

The aboriginal occupants of Swanton were the St. Francis tribe of Indians. 
It is known that they existed in considerable numbers and had at one time 
quite a thriving settlement on the banks of the Missisquoi. Their occupation 
of the territory, however, dates only, as far as can be ascertained, from 1650. 
During most of the preceding hundred years, or from the supposed visit of 
Johne Graye, in 1564, down to about the middle of the seventeenth century, 
it is presumed that the lands in this vicinity were unoccupied ; but from that 
time until the middle of the eighteenth century, the St. Francis Indians 
occupied the land, and took an active part in many of the incursions against 
the whites.

When the French mission was established here is not known exactly, but 
it was several, and perhaps many, years subsequent to 1730. A French set- 
tlement then gathered about the mission, a fact to which Indian tradition 
bears ample testimony. It is also confirmed by the accounts of the early 
settlers, who received their information from those who were well acquainted 
with the efforts of the French in this- vicinity, and by the reports of soldiers 
who passed through here during the old French and Indian war. About the 
year 1730, a plague broke out among the people, and both the Indians and 
the French left the territory for Canada. Not long subsequent to 1741, the 
Indians returned to the territory, and with them a few of the French. Two 
settlements seem to have been commenced here, one at the falls, and one 
some two miles down the river, on the east bank, and probably not far from 
the old Indian Castle. The French, however, for the most part, if not 
entirely, took their departure from the locatity shortly after 1760, though 
their improvements were not all removed, and many of the Indians remained 
behind. The church, which had been erected long before, was still standing, 
and undoubtedly some of the cabins put up by the French inhabitants 
remained. 

In 1765, the St. Francis Indians leased a large tract of land in this vicinity 
to James Robertson, a wealthy merchant of St. Johns, who soon after came 
on to the territory in company with Thomas Metcalf, who subsequently acted 
as his agent. Metcalf erected a saw-mill at the falls, and a comparatively 
extensive lumber trade was commenced, while the fur trade was also quite 
extensively prosecuted. Mr. Rrobercson erected a house, and came with his 
family to reside at the falls. At one time, previous to the breaking out of 
hostilities against England, in 1776, there were some fifty lumbermen em- 
ployed by him, most of whom were of French descent, and probably many 
of them had their families settled in the neighborhood. The mill erected by 
Metcalf probably occupied about the same site of an old one erected by the 
French, which was destroyed during the French and Indian war. Metcalfs 
mill was burned soon after the revolution broke out, and with its destruction, 
if tradition may be trusted, ended the first settlement, under English auspices, 
on the Missisquoi river. 

The first settler in the town, and probably in the county, after the begin- 
ning of the revolution, was John Hilliker, a native of White Plains, N. Y., 
who came here about the year 1779, and continued to reside here until his 
death, leaving behind him a posterity, a portion of which may still be found 
in the neighborhood. For several years after he located here, no additional 
families came on, and for a long time the only tenement between his home 
and Burlington was at Colchester Point. 

The war of the Revolution at length drew to a close, and with the abate- 
ment of the troubles to early settlers attending it, pioneers soon began to 
look with favorable glances upon the territory of Swanton. Most of the 
land of the township had become the property of Ira Allen, that insatiate 



204 TOWN OF SWANTON. 



real estate manipulator. In t 786, he employed Thomas Butterfield as his 
agent, to come to the town and make an effort towards the improvement of 
the mill-power at the falls. During the latter part of that year or early part 
of the next, Butterfield brought his family to the town. This was no easy 
task at that day, there being no roads. He performed the journey on foot, 
while his wife rode on horseback, with their earthly possessions lashed to the 
saddle, or otherwise fastened to the horse. Not far from this time Jonathan 
Butterfield, brother to Thomas, made his way through the woods and settled 
at the falls. In 1787, William Coit surveyed the town, employed by Ira 
Allen. Prom this time forward the settlement rapidly increased. 

According to Mr. Barney, in his town history, settlers began to locate and 
make claims for themselves at four or five different points in Swanton, 
previous to 1790. The first was along the river, in the neighborhood of the 
old Indian settlement ; the second in West Swanton, known as Hog Island ; 
the third at the falls ; and the fourth near the geographical center of the 
town, on the direct road from the falls to St. Albans. He also says these 
early settlers were composed of two classes of persons, differing somewhat in 
race, manners, and customs, and whose antecedents had been very unlike. 
The most of those in the west part of the town were of Dutch descent, and 
it has been said, and probably with more or less truth, that the most of them 
had, during our Revolutionary war, been loyal to the British, and at its close 
found their location somewhat uncomfortable, and they therefore left with 
the view of making their future home in the King's dominions, and that 
nearly all of that class who settled in this town and Highgate, supposed 
they had gotten north of latitude 45 °; but on finding their mistake 
concluded to remain where they were, inasmuch as they found themselves, 
not badly treated. Those who settled about the falls and easterly therefrom 
were mostly of the Yankee type, firm believers in popular government and 
democratic in their political views. 

In the beginning of the year 1790, the subject of the organization of the 
town was much agitated, it being deemed desirable and important on many 
accounts. To effect this result, the following warning was issued, which may 
be found recorded in the first volume and first page of the town records : — 

" Whereas, Application has been made to me by a number of the in- 
habitants of the Township of Swanton to warn a Town Meeting ; These are, 
therefore, to warn those of said town who have a right by law to vote in 
Town Meeting to meet at the dwelling-house of Jonathan Butterfield, in said 
Swanton, on the 23d of inst. March, at 10 o'clock in the morning, then and 
there first to choose a moderator to govern said meeting ; secondly, to choose 
a town clerk and all other officers necessary for the ensuing year as the law 
directs. 

" Dated at Georgia, this fifth day of March, A. D., 1790. 

" Daniel Stannard, 

Justice of the Peace." 

The meeting was held, pursuant to the said warning, when Jonathan But- 
terfield was chosen moderator ; Thomas Butterfield, town clerk ; John Asel-

tine, constable ; Conrad Aseltine, John Knox, and Jonathan Butterfield 
selectmen. The first justice of the peace was Thomas Butterfield, chosen in 
1788. The first representative, Daniel Stannard, in 1790. The first grist- 
mill at the falls was erected by Ira Allen, in 1791. It stood directly below 
and on the opposite side of the bridge from the present large grist-mill. 
About the year 1804, or '05, another grist-mill was built, by Isaac Hull, on the 
west side of the river, a few rods below Ballard's wagon shop. This mill was 
carried off by a flood, about the year 18 13. The first to keep goods for sale 
at the falls was Alexander Ferguson, who commenced business in the latter 
part of the year 1800, at his residence, a small framed house near the hollow 
east of the village. John Brown located as a merchant at East Swanton in 
1800, and Ora Willard, at Swanton Center in 1812. The first house for the 
accommodation of travelers was kept by Asa Holgate, at the falls, and stood 
where L. Laselle now resides. It was opened for the reception of guests in 
1793. His barn, it is said, stood not far from the center of the present park 
at the village. 

During the war of 1 8 1 2, Swanton did her full share in sustaining the American 
cause. The following is a list of volunteers who served in the battle of Pitts- 
burgh : Amasa J. Brown, captain ; Enos E. Brown, L. Barnes, Oliver Potter 
Leonard Cummings, Jeremiah Potter, John Denio, Burton Freeman, George 
W. Foster, and Jules Keep, privates. When the war of the Union came upon 
us, Swanton was the first of the county to come to the rescue. With a few 
others of the State this town had kept alive the military spirit of the people of 
earlier days, and the Rebellion found the " Green Mountain Guards" an in- 
dependent company, well organized and disciplined for the contest. Two 
hundred and eighty-seven recruits were sent from the town, thirteen of whom 
were killed in battle, twenty-eight died of wounds and disease, thirty-four were 
discharged for wounds, disabilities, etc., six (officers) resigned, fourteen re- 
enlisted, twenty-eight deserted, eight were not fully accounted for, twenty- 
two were not accounted for at all, and 131 were mustered out of service. 

In memory of the soldiers from Swanton who laid down their lives in this 
great civil war, the town, in accordance with the decision of a large majority 
of voters, has erected a beautiful monument, at a cost of $2,000.00. The 
original appropriation was $1,500.00, and Hon. William H. Blake, one of the 
selectmen, was authorized to make the purchase. A committee consisting of 
Dr. G. M. Hall, Hon. William H. Blake, and C. W. Rich, was appointed by 
the town to accept and locate the monument, and the site selected was the 
park at Swanton village. The monument was placed in position durino- the 
autumn of 1868. The design is a Grecian figure representing the Goddess 
of Liberty, the style of the dress being also Grecian. She stands in a contem- 
plative mood, her countenance representing an expression subdued and sad 
yet at the same time one of exultation over the great results of the sacrifice 
to Liberty. The base upon which the whole rests is a large block of marble 
taken from the quarries of Messrs. Fisk, of Isle La Motte, and dressed with 



2o6 TOWN OF SWANTON. 



great care ; it is five feet six inches square, and two feet six inches high. 
Upon this base rests the sub-base, a stone taken from the same quarry and 
made more ornamental, and upon the sub-base rests the die. The sub-base 
is .four feet six inches square, and eighteen inches high. The die was taken 
from the Isle La Motte polishing marble quarry, and is highly wrought and 
elaborately finished ; it measures two feet eight inches on either face, and is 
four feet high. Upon the sides of the die facing the north, south, and east, 
are sculptured the names of the twenty-nine resident soldiers from Swanton 
who died in the service of the United States. Their names appear according 
to rank, also the number of the regiment in which they were serving at the 
time of their death, whether killed upon the battle-field or died of wounds, or 
disease in hospital or otherwise, together with the name of the battle-field or 
hospital, and the date of their death. On the west face of the die is the fol- 
lowing inscription : — 

" Erected by the Town of Swanton, 
in memory of her patriot soldiers who fell in the 
War of the Rebellion." 

Upon the die rests the cap, or capital, wrought in Grecian moulding, and is

the family are residents of the town. 

Oliver Potter was among the early settlers on the west side of the river at 
the falls, coming here in 1803. He was born March 7, 1781, and died at 
Swanton, August 19, 1861. Soon after coming here he bought a saw-mill of 
Seth Warner, at the west end of the dam, July 26, 1804. He carried on the 
lumber business, giving to it his personal supervision most of the time until 
September, 1826, when he sold his mill to Dr. Jonathan Berry, and retired to 
his farm near Maquam, about three miles southwest of the falls. Late in 
life, however, he removed to another farm, about a mile west of the falls, 
now owned by Enos Aseltine. Mr. Potter married Sophia Davis, and 
had a family of seven children, David, John, Augustus, Miranda, Matilda, 
Noel and Allen, all of whom are now living.

1799, purchased, in company with his brother Rufus, of Bennington, Vt., a 
tract of land and mill privilege where the village now is, and commenced the 
manufacture of iron. This manufacture was continued by the family many 
years, but Rufus never resided here, and only retained an interest in the con- 
cern until 1803. The business was discontinued in 1868. Elisha was the 
father of George Barney, one of the present prominent men of Swanton. He 
was born in Taunton, Mass., July 17, 1776, and was united in marriage with 
Mehitable Leonard, daughter of Rufus Leonard, of Taunton, May 15, 1795. 
The fruit of this union was seven children, three dying in childhood, as fol-

Goodrich & Co., in the mercantile and lumber business. In 1839, he com- 
menced the business of selling goods, in connection with the manufacture of 
marble. In 1853, he bought out the firm of J. & W. H. Blake, and contin- 
ued to sell goods about one year, when William H. Blake became his partner, 
the firm name being Blake & Barney, continuing the sale of goods with the 
marble business. This firm continued to do business about three years, since 
which time neither of them has done anything in the way of selling goods, Mr. 
Barney confining himself mainly to the marble business, in connection with 
his son, R. L. Barney. Several brothers of Elisha were among the early citi- 
zens of the town, and Swanton owes much of its prosperity to this enterprising 
family. R. L. Barney, brother of George, at his death, February 26, 1874, 
bequeathed to the town a sum amounting to $20,000.00. George, in addi- 
tion to business capabilities of a high order, has much literary ability, as is 
evinced in his joint authorship, with the late Prof. John B. Perry, of the his- 
tory of Swanton, one of the best of this class of works we remember to have 
seen, and to which we are greatly indebted for this sketch of Swanton. 

Marshall Nye Beebe, the fourth of a family of fifteen children, was born at 
Rutland, Vt., April n, 1800. His father. Guy Beebe, a scion of an old New 
England family not unknown in the annals of revolutionary fame, was a 
native of Ludlow, Mass., and located at Rutland in 1775. During the war 
of 18 1 2, he took an active part in the American cause, participating in the 
battle of Plattsburgh, he being at that time a resident of Milton, Vt. In 1832, 
he came to this county, locating in Franklin, and remained there until his

death. Marshall Nye became a carpenter and joiner, was for many years a 
successful mechanic, and is now a hale old man residing near his son, A. J. 
Beebe, of Swanton. On December 22, 1834, he was united in marriage with 
Rebecca Ricard, daughter of John and Caroline Ricard, the union being 
blessed with a family of nine children, as follows : Allan L., born in Decem- 
ber, 1835, died in infancy; Andrew Jackson, born August 23, 1837, of whom 
more will be said further on; George Allison, born August 8, 1839, followed 
farming and mercantile pursuits until the breaking out of the late war, when 
he enlisted, served with honor, was commissioned captain of Co. F, gth Vt. 
Vols., June 25, 1862, and died soon after of chronic diarrhoea ; Guy Anson, 
born September 5, 1841, is now a prominent lumber manufacturer and dealer 
in timber-land, at Fitzwilliam, N. H.; Ezra H., born October 17, 1842, is 
engaged as salesman in a clothing house and dealing in produce at Swanton; 
Elwin M., born May 16, 1845, died in infancy; Ethel C, bom August 31, 
1847, is a prominent physician and surgeon of Oconto, Wis. ; Gaylord War- 
ren, born October 20, 1850, is cashier of the National Union Bank of Swan- 
ton ; and Carrie J., the only daughter, born April 20, 1852, became the wife 
of Nelson Beckwith, of New Hampshire, and died June 24, 1875. 

Andrew Jackson Beebe was born in Highgate, August 23, 1837. When 
four years of age, his father located on a ten-acre farm in Highgate, on the 
road leading from the Daniel Watson farm to the old furnace, where he 
resided until the death of his wife, in 1862, when he sold the place, removed 
to Canada, and in 1868, returned to Vermont, and took up his residence near 
Andrew. In early life, young Beebe was his mother's chief help in household 
duties, and in caring for his younger brothers, and later, in assisting his 
father about his ten-acre farm, while as much of his time as could be spared 
from these duties was occupied in working for the neighboring farmers, and 
in attending the district school. At the age of fifteen years he commenced 
to work with his father at the carpenter's trade ; at seventeen he worked land 
on shares, and at the age of eighteen he went to Burlington, where he entered 
the employ of Morillo Noyes, as clerk in his wholesale peddler's supply store, 
agreeing to work for Mr. Noyes the first two years for the same that Mr. 
Noyes had received for his first two year's clerkship. Young Beebe's sur- 
prise may be imagined when Mr. Noyes informed him that the salary was 
$30.00 for the first year, and $50.00 for the second, including board and 
washing. But his word had been given, and there was no withdrawing. By 
the exercise of the most rigid economy, he was enabled to get through the 
two years without getting into debt, proving in the end an excellent school 
for him. He remained with Mr. Noyes five years, and at the end of that 
time, having gained much valuable experience and a few hundred dollars in 
money, was offered an interest in the business ; but declining the offer, he 
returned to Swanton, iu 1863, and purchased a few acres of land. He then 
bought a peddler's cart, supplied himself with a peddler's outfit, and com- 
menced trading about the county for sheep, oxen, pelts, etc., which he sold, 
and with the profits thereon purchased more land, which he has added to

from time to time, until he now has four farms, aggregating 500 acres, stocked 
with some of the finest bred horses and cattle in the county. His home farm 
and buildings are represented in a view on another page. On September 4, 
1872, Mr. Beebe was united in matrimony with Miss Addie L. Marvin, eldest 
daughter of T. B. and Samantha (Meigs) Marvin, and they now have a family 
of five children, as follows: Rigney D. M., born March 26, 1874; Murray 
A. J., born December 10, 1876 ; Lura H., born October 11, 1877 ; Linda J., 
born August 24, 1879 ; and A. Winnona, born August 23, 1881. Mr. Beebe 
has cleared about 250 acres of his farms, and has about 100 acres more 
partially cleared, which together with the old land, gives him ample field for 
cropping and grazing. Among his commodious farm buildings is an exten- 
sive barn, nearly completed, which is a model stock barn in all respects. He 
has given much attention to growing improved stock, especially horses of the 
Morgan breed, having an excellent stud now on his farm. Mr. Beebe is 
known as an industrious, hard-working farmer, possessed of excellent ability. 
He believes in making two blades of grass grow where one grew before, and 
of raising valuable animals rather than cheap, ordinary stock. 

The First Baptist Church, located in the eastern part of the town, was 
organized by Rev. William A. Marsh, with eleven members, in 1796. The 
society now has sixty-five members, with Rev. G. W. Wilkins, pastor. Their 
first house of worship was a Union church, which was superseded by the pres- 
ent structure in 1850. It is a comfortable building, capable of seating 200 
persons, and valued at $3,000.00. 

The Congregational Church, located at Swanton village, was organized by 
Rev. Mr. Huntington, with ten members, January 4, 1801, the first pastor 
being Rev. Eben H. Dorman. The first building was a wood structure, 
erected in 1816, at the Center; the present brick house, built in 1824, will 
accommodate 350 persons, and is valued, including grounds, at $10,000.00. 
The society has 171 members, with Rev. J. H. Babbitt, pastor. 

The Methodist Episcopal Church, located at Swanton village, was organized 
by Rev. Almon Dunbar, with five members, in 1816. Their first church was 
the building now owned by the Congregational society. Their present build- 
ing, a commodious structure capable of accommodating 400 persons, was 
commenced in 1847, and completed the following year. The society now has 
170 members, with Rev. Mr. Boutwell, pastor. 

The Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, located at Swanton Falls, was organ- 
ized by Rev. J. B. Pitman, with seven members, November 3, 1867. Their 
building was erected the year previous, a small building capable of accommo- 
dating 200 persons, and valued at $3,000.00. The society has forty members, 
with Rev. Thomas Burgess, of St. Albans, rector. 



GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 



GRAND ISLE COUNTY. 

JH1ILBURGH, the northwestern town of the State, is a narrow neck of land 
extending south from the Province line into Lake Champlain, having a 
width of about six miles at the northern line, and a length of ten miles, 
lying in lat. 45 ° o' and long. 3 42', bounded north by Canada, and east, 
south, and west by the waters of the lake. It was granted by Vermont, Feb- 
ruary 23,1781, to Ira Allen and sixty-four others, as a tract to contain an 
area of 23,040 acres. Nearly fifty years previous to this, however, the land 
had been granted by the French Crown, and a settlement made by the French, 
at Wind Mill Point, in the western part of the town, as early as 1731. This 
settlement was made under a charter issued to " Senior Francois Foucault, 
counselor to the supreme council of Quebec, and principal scrivener to the 
Marine, which was confirmed by another charter, bearing date April 3, 1733, 
ratified by his Majesty the King of France, April 6, 1734. In May, 1743, 
this charter was renewed and augmented, in which charter of confirmation it 
is recited, that Foucault had complied with the conditions of the original 
grant, by establishing three new settlers, in addition to eight who had settled 
the previous year — that he built in that year, 1 73 1, a wind-mill of stone ma- 
sonry, which cost near 4,000 livers, and had taken steps to build a church, 20 
by 24 feet, which was to be ready to receive a missionary the next spring, to 
whom a lot of land was conveyed, free of charge, of two acres in front by 
forty acres in depth, to serve for the building of a church, a parochial house 
and burying-ground, and for the maintenance of the missionary, which dona- 
tion was accepted by the Bishop of Quebec. This charter of concession 
granted to the said Foucault, was for two leagues in length upon the River 
Chambly; and in it srenewal the lands of the original grant were included, 
and an augmentation of one league in front, by the same in depth, to be taken 
at the end of the said two leagues, going up the said River Chambly. In 
view of the improvements set forth in the petition of the said Foucault, to 
which reference is made in the said grant, and also efforts to induce settlers 
to enter upon these lands, the farther augmentation above named was made 
in the year 17 43, of a neck of land or peninsula of about two leagues in front, 
joining the concession previously made, and going up the said River Chambly

to the point called ' Point du Detour,' the southern extremeity of Alburgh, 
known as the ' Point of the tongue,' which said extent of land had been 
granted to Mr. De L'Isle who relinquished the same at the same time, on 
account of the bad quality of the land ■ part of which, the petitioner states, 
is fit for cultivation, and which the petitioner could give to some laborious 
young men — all the remainder being without any depth, and full of large 
stones and rocks. This grant or concession was signed jointly by Charles 
Marquis DeBeauharnois, and Gilles Hocquart, who declare therein, that they 
have full power and virtue thus to do by his Majesty." 

Aside from the grants thus made, the territory was claimed at different 
periods by New York, and by the St. Francis Indians, of Canada. These 
numerous claims led, as a matter of course, to much litigation and trouble, 
it having been said that there is not a single lot of land in the town over 
whose title there has not been a law-suit. Sen. Foucault transferred his 
grant to Gen. Frederick Haldlmand, who was Governor of Canada from 
1778, to 1784, and Haldimand subsequently conveyed the same to Henry 
Caldwell, of Belmont, near Quebec. Caldwell caused the outlines of the 
town to be surveyed and lotted on the lake shore. The title of Henry Caldwell 
descended to John Caldwell, his son. It was afterwards purchased from 
John Caldwell by Heman Allen, of Highgate. The Vermont charter to 
Ira Allen, however, stood the test of law, and under it the inhabitants hold 
their land. The town has also had several different names, among which are 
Point Algonquin, Point Du Detour, and Point Detourrer, by the French. 
The latter name being translated means " turn about," so named probably 
by some footman who, having reached the southern extremity of the penin- 
sula, was obliged to turn about on account of the water. It has also borne 
the names Missisco Tongue, Missisco Leg, Caldwell's Upper Manor, and, 
finally, Alburgh, from a corruption of Allenburgh. 

The surface of the territory is nearly level, there being no hills of any 
great altitude, and consequently no streams of importance. For the latter 
reason, no mechanical or industrial enterprises of any magnitude have been 
attempted. Near the center of the southern portion of the town there is a 
swamp, nearly three miles long by a half mile in width, and in the northern 
part of the town there extends from Canada another swamp, called Mad 
Creek Marsh, having a width of nearly half a mile, and a length in the town 
of nearly four and one-half miles. The soil, with the exception of these 
marshes, is mostly susceptible of cultivation, and some of the fields near the 
swamps that cannot be plowed make excellent pastures. A large proportion 
of the soil is a clay loam, and in the northern part of the territory a gravelly 
formation, both of which are well adapted to the different grains. The tim- 
ber is that common to the northern towns of the State, though extensive 
forests are among the things that were. 

Geologically, the town overlies an immense bed of Utica slate, the rocks 
consisting entirely of those incident to this formation. Mineral springs,

whose waters contain valuable medicinal qualities, have made the town justly- 
celebrated, and have been resorted to since 1816. The waters of Alburgh 
Springs arise from an argillo-calcareous slate, are of a milky appearance, 
strongly impregnated with hydro-sulphuric acid, and said to be highly effica- 
cious in cutaneous diseases. When the C. V. R. R. bridge was erected, 
indications of coal were found upon the farm of James Bremmer, and in 
1881, specimens were found that undoubtedly contained a small per cent of 
this valuable mineral. 

In 1880, Alburgh had a population of 1,614, was divided into ten school 
districts and contained ten common schools, employing two male and seven- 
teen female teachers, to whom an aggregate salary of $1,103.00 was paid. 
There were 321 pupils attending common schools, while the entire cost of 
the schools for the year, ending October 31st, was $1,304.38. P. A. Wheeler 
was school superintendent. 

Alburgh Springs, a post village located in the northeastern part of the 
town, received its name from the mineral springs found at that point. It 
contains two churches (Congregational and Methodist), one store, one black- 
smith and carriage shop, a number of fine dwellings and two good hotels. 

Alburgh, (p. o.) a hamlet and station on the Vermont & Canada (C. V.) 
railroad, located in the northwestern part of the town, contains one church 
(Methodist), a store, blacksmith shop, and about seven dwellings. Deputy 
collector N. K. Martin is also located here. 

East Alburgh, (p. o.) a hamlet and station on the V. & C. R. R., con- 
tains one store, one hotel, and about ten dwellings. One of the U. S. 
Custom Houses is located here, with Halsey H. Adams, deputy collector of 
customs. 

Alburgh Center, a post village located in the central part of the town, 
contains one church (Methodist), three small stores, and several dwellings. 

The settlement, by the French, at Wind-mill Point, was of short duration. 
Another was commenced in 1741, only ten years after the first, and that in 
turn abandoned. About the year 1782, some emigrants from St. Johns made 
a settlement in the town. They supposed themselves to be in Canada, and 
were principally British refugees. These were joined by others from different 
localities, from time to time, until, in 179 1, the town had a population of 
446. Previous to the year 1792, these settlers were destitute of all civil 
government, except such as was voluntary. During that year, however, the 
town was organized, and the first town meeting held, when Thomas Reynolds 
was chosen clerk ; Richard Mott, John Chambers, Joshua Manning, and 
Jacob Cook, selectmen; Benjamin Marvin, town treasurer; Abel Parr and 
Joseph Mott, constables ; Moses Parr, Joseph Weeks, John Ladue, Ichabod 
Babcock, and Alexander Griggs, listers; James Sweet and Gabriel Manning, 
leather sealers ; William Brandigo and John Ladue, grand jurors; Richard 
Mott, Daniel Smith, Stephen Sweet, Sylvester Sweet, Titus Clark, Jacob Bab- 
cock, John VanVleet, Alexander Griggs, and Philip Cook, surveyors of high-

ways ; Michael Honsinger, pound keeper ; Jacob Mott, Ichabod Babcoek, 
Sylvester Sweet, James Fisher, Peter Carrigan, and Frederick Hoxie, fence 
viewers ; Michael Dual, Daniel Beazal, Joseph Hayden, Peter Truman, 
Joseph Mott, Conrad Burghardt, and Joseph Sowles, haywards ; Richard 
Mott, David Staunton, Michael, Dual, John Griggs, Sands Helmes, Timothy 
Sowles, Abraham Holdbrock, and James Andrews, petit jurors ; Hendrick 
Miller and Thomas Reynolds, tithingmen ; and Titus Clark, and Timothy 
Sowles, wardens. 

The first birth known to have occurred in the town, was that of Agnes, a 
daughter of John Gibson, December 15, 1784. The first male child born 
was William Sowles, in 1788. About the year 1800, Ephraim Mott, aided by 
some others, built a wind-mill for flouring, on the west shore of the town, 
about three miles south of the Province line. Previous to this the nearest 
mills were at Swanton, Plattsburgh, or Cham plain and Lacole, in Canada, 
from ten to twenty-five miles distant. This mill was built of stone, in a cir- 
cular form, and supplied with one run of stones. It was used for several 
years, but finally abandoned and fell into ruins. Aboutthe year 1830, a steam 
saw-mill was erected in the western part of the town, near the Province line, 
by William L. Sowles and William H. Lyman, aided somewhat by the volun- 
tary subscriptions of others. Another was built the same year at the Center, 
by a company formed for that purpose. After about four years, the one built 
by Sowles & Lyman, was accidently destroyed by fire. The boiler and 
engine were afterwards sold and removed to the shore, near the line, and a 
mill built and operated by a company consisting of Manning, Williams & 
Gear. It afterwards passed into - the hands of Goodenow, Redington & Co., 
and was removed to Canada. The mill at the Center proved unprofitable, 
and finally suspended operations. 

The first to practice medicine in the town was Doctor Emerson, in 1786. 
The first school was taught by Reuben Garlic, a Church-of-England deacon, 
and doctor of medicine, of liberal education. He established a school in the 
western part of the town in 1789. The planing machine, one of the most 
useful machines we now have, was invented in this town, by Joseph S. Mott. 
After much study and patient application, he brought out his model and sent 
it to Washington to be patented ; but delay ensued, his model was stolen, and 
he never obtained a patent. 

William Bell, one of the early settlers of the town, was born in Ireland, and 
at the age of eight years he enlisted as a drummer boy in the English army, 
during the French and Indian war. He also served in the revolution, was 
captured by the Indians, taken to an island in the St. Lawrence, whence he 
escaped only by swimming several miles. His son, William, settled here soon 
after the revolution, and Mr. Bell took up his residence with him, remaining 
until his death. Orlando Bell, grandson of William, Sr., born here in 1797, 
is now one of the oldest residents of the town. 

Emanuel Honsinger, from Duchess county, N. Y., located at an early day

upon the farm now owned by his son, William. It was then in the midst of 
a forest, not a tree having been felled. He built the house now occupied by 
William, and he and his wife spent sixty-seven years of their lives therein. 
Mr. Honsinger attained the age of ninety years, and his wife the great age of 
ninety-eight years. 

George Bremmer, from Scotland, settled near Ticonderaga at an early day. 
He served in the revolutionary war, was taken prisoner together with his 
family, by the Indians, and carried to St. Johns, Can., where he died. George, 
Jr., left St. Johns about the year 1786, and was among the early settlers in 
Alburgh, locating in the eastern part of the town, where he resided until his 
death, in 1844, aged seventy-seven years. His son, Thomas, married Cath- 
arine Bramer in 1823, located near his father, and died in 1850. George, 
son of Thomas, now resides here, not far from his grandfather's old home- 
stead. 

Duncan McGregor, born at Montreal, December 25, 1 78 r, came to Alburgh 
the following March with his father, who had been granted five hundred acres 
of land by the British government, as a reward for faithful services as an offi- 
cer in the army. At the age of twenty-three years, Duncan located on road 
44, upon land now owned by his son, Duncan. Duncan, Sr., served his 
country at the battle of Plattsburgh, and when offered a pension for the ser- 
vice, proudly declined it. He died in 1877, aged ninety-five years. 

Thaddeus Landon immigrated from Connecticut at an early day, making 
for himself a home in the southern part of South Hero, where he reared a 
family of twelve children, two of whom, John S., and Jesse, are now living. 
Edwin, the first son of the latter, located in the eastern part of this town in 
1845, where he still resides.

portion of his life on the farm, which is now owned by Timothy's grandson, 
Dr. Philander A. Wheeler, of Alburgh Center. 

Benjamin Marvin was a soldier in the French and Indian war, and also

ijpsRAND ISLE, the northern town of the southern island of the county, 
■ft^ lies in lat. 44 43', and long. 3° 42', and is surrounded by the waters of 
W Lake Champlain on all sides except the south, where it borders on 
South Hero. It is about six and one-third miles in length, and varies from 
a quarter of a mile to four miles in width, containing 10,234 acres,— includ- 
ing Savage Island of 200 acres on the east, and the Two Sisters of about ten 
acres on the northwest, — of which 7,034 acres are improved land. The 
charter of the town was granted by Vermont, together with North and South 
Hero, to Ethan Allen, Samuel Herrick, Joseph Bowker, Ira Allen, Jonas 
Fay, and 359 others, supposed to have all been veterans of the revolution, 
October 27, 1779. The grant was given under the name of the Two Heroes, 
referring to Ethan and Ira Allen, and contained 25,002 acres. Isle La 
Motte, or Vineyard as it was then called, was intended to have been included 
in the grant, but by some misunderstanding it was left out. On October 
21, 1788, the Two Heroes was divided into North and South Hero, giving 
to North Hero 6,272 acres; and November 7, 1798, South Hero was again 
divided, and the northern part named Middle Hero, a name it retained until 
November 5, 1810, when it was changed to Grand Isle. 

In surface, the town is usually level, though it contains some elevations of 
minor importance, the view afforded from either of which is most beautiful. 
Nothing is lacking in the scene. On either side are lofty mountains towering 
into the clouds, while the town itself is washed by the waters of one of the 
most beautiful lakes in the world, and contains within its own limits, a com- 
plete scene of pastoral thrift and comfort, and at some points, wild, romantic 
solitudes, at others the peaceful sylvan dells so dear to a poetic soul. This 
wealth of natural beauty attracts many city-tired people during the warm 
summer months, so that the town has attained some celebrity as a summer 
resort. The soil is rich and productive, varying in different parts of the ter- 
ritory from marl to clay. Sheep breeding, grain raising and fruit culture, are 
extensively engaged in by a large majority of the inhabitants, the soil being 
especially well adapted to the raising of sheep. It is claimed that the disease 
commonly called " foot-rot," has never been known to exist among these

animals here. Fruit culture, too, is conducted as successfully as in any other 
portion of the State. No streams of importance are found, there being but 
one,Beaver brook, that furnishes sufficient power for propelling machinery. 
The timber that originally covered the land has almost entirely disappeared 
to supply the never ending demand for lumber, that which remains being 
mostly maple on the uplands, from which sugar is manufactured in consider- 
able quantities, and cedar and hemlock on the low and swamp-land. The 
geological structure consists of Chazy and Trenton limestone and Utica slate, 
extending diagonally across the town from north to south, in parallel ranges. 
The slate vein contains a number of quarries of a good quality, some of 
which, on Savage Island, are worked to good advantage. 

In 1880, Grand Isle had a population of 749, was divided into five school 
districts, and contained five common schools, employing three male and five 
female teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary of $578.00. There 
were 136 pupils attending common schools, while the entire cost of the schools 
for the year, ending October 31st, was $655.16, with S. P. Gordon, super- 
intendent. 

Grand Isle, a post village located in the eastern part of the town, con- 
tains two churches (Methodist and Congregational), a school-house, etc., and 
about a dozen dwellings. 

William Hbag's saw-mill, located on Beaver brook, road 22, was built in 
1866, by its present proprietor. Mr. Hoag manufactures about 10,000 feet of 
lumber and 14,000 shingles per .day. 

Melvin A. Ladd's grist-mill, located on road 24, was built in 1880. The 
power is furnished by one of Halladay's wind-mills, giving the mill a capacity 
for grinding from two to twelve bushels of grain per hour, according to the 
strength and velocity of the wind. 

Proprietors' meetings were held at stated times from 1783, to 1786, when 
the usual business of such bodies was conducted. John Knickerbocker was 
the first clerk, and was succeeded by Col. Ebenezer Allen, in 1784. The 
first deed on their records is one from William Williams to Capt. Jedediah 
Hyde, of Norwich, Conn., of a lot of land for ,£12, bearing date January 18, 
1783. The first surveys were made in 1783. It is believed that the first 
settlers were Col. Allen, Lambertin Allen, and Alexander Gordon, about the 
year 1783, the exact date not being known. From this commencement of 
the settlement until 1785, the following named persons came here, most of 
whom had families to accompany them : Cyril Reed, William Hyde, Jonathan 
Griffith, Uzziel Clark, William Campbell, Jacob Vantyne, Abraham Vantyne, 
John Minckler, William Hazen, Barnabas Minckler, John Sawyer, Reuben 
Clapp, John Gibson, and Ephraim Sawyer, Jr. To these, others were added 
from time to time, so that in 1791, the town had a population of 337. Most 
of the early settlers located on the lake shore, and very little progress was 
made in the settlement of the interior of the town for many years. After a 
long series of efforts had been made to divide the island into two towns, the 



222 TOWN OF GRAND ISLE. 



object was finally accomplished in 1798. The first town meeting was warned 
by Reuben Clapp, justice of the peace, and was held at the dwelling of Isaac 
Atkins, March 1, 1799. Reuben Clapp was chosen moderator ; James Brown, 
town clerk and treasurer ; John Thomas, first constable ; Abel Bristol, 
Thomas Cooper, Sen., and Reuben Clapp, selectmen ; and Thomas Cooper, 
Sen., James Tobias, and William Hazen, listers. James Tobias, Reuben 
Clapp, and Jedediah Hyde, Jr., were appointed commissioners to settle the 
claims of South Hero, and various sums were subsequently voted in liquida- 
tion of its demands. It was also voted at this meeting to raise a tax of one 
per cent on the grand list of the town, the said tax to be payable in wheat at 
5s. 6d. per bushel, and corn at 3s. per bushel, for the support of the poor, 
and other incidental town expenses. It was also voted to build a pound, 
and the contract for its construction was awarded to Timothy Nightingale 
and Joseph Merrihew, for $27.50. 

The first justice of the peace was Alexander Gordon, chosen in 1786. 
The first representative, Rev. Asa Lyon, in 1810. In 18 10, the first free- 
men's meeting was held, there being thirty-one votes cast. The first birth 
was that of Esther, daughter of Lambertin Allen, December 13, 1782. The 
first death, that of Jesse Tripp, about 1786. The first saw-mill was erected 
by Enoch Allen, in 1822. Mr. Allen also had a grist-mill in connection, 
which was built the year previous, and ceased running in 183 1. A small 
forge was erected near the mill in 1827, by Isaac Goodwin, where plows and 
domestic utensils were cast, it being discontinued in 1838. The first tanner 
and currier was Lambertin Allen. The first blacksmith was Samuel Daven- 
port. The first carpenter and joiner was Fox Fowler, about the year 1786. 
The first merchant was John Ferguson, at Ladd's Ferry, in 1792. The first 
physician was Jacob Roebeck. The first highway was surveyed in 1790, and 
extended through the island from north to south, and is now known as the 
Main road. The first tavern was kept by Alexander Gordon, at Ladd's 
Ferry, which at that time bore Gordon's name. Another tavern was opened 
a year or two afterwards, by Timothy Nightingale. The first postoffice was 
established in 1810, and Ephraim Beardsley was the first postmaster. 

Ezra Kinney, from Stonington, Conn., came to this town when there were 
but two houses erected, and made the choice of a home in the southern part 
of the island, where he remained for a number of years, then removed to the 
foot of what is now known as Kinney's hill. Two of his family of ten chil- 
dren, Lorenzo D., and Lysander, are now living in the town, the former aged 
seventy-eight years, and the latter seventy-three years. Reuben S., the 
only son of Lorenzo D., was born in 1834, and now resides on road 11. 
Marcus O., the second child of Lysander, born in 1848, married Mary Cen- 
tre in 1873, and has one child, Clarence. Albert, the third child, born in 
1852, is now managing a large stock farm in South Hero.

in 1806, is yet living on the old homestead with three of his sons, Joseph F., 
Samuel M., and Mahlon D. Wesson, the oldest child of Silas, and grand- 
son of Wesson, Sr., was born in 1815, on the farm he now occupies with his 
son, Abner H. 

Daniel Hoag, from Duchess county, N. Y., came into the town in 1789, 
and chose a home near Mr. Macomber, where he remained for several years, 
then removed to the lake shore. Of his family of fourteen children, all but 
one lived to have a family of their own. Mr. Hoag died in 1809, aged forty- 
eight years. His wife, Phoebe Mosher, survived his death forty-six years, 
dying in 1855, aged eighty-seven years. Two sons, Daniel and Seth, reside 
on the western shore of the town. Wyman C, son of Seth, with a wife and 
three children, is residing on road 16, and Stephen, born in 1824, lives on 
road t8, while James W., the youngest son of James, resides in the old farm 
house, part of which was built previous to 1805. Mercy R., the oldest daugh- 
ter of James, is now Mrs. William C. Irish, of South Hero. 

Warren Corbin, from New York, was one of the first settlers on road 34, 
where he reared a family of seven children, and died in 1832. One son, 
Peter, resides in Illinois, aged eighty-four years. David T.-Corbin resides in 
Charleston, S. C, during the winter, and in this town, on road 6, in the sum- 
mer. 

James Tobias came here from Duchess county, N. Y., in 1791, and located 
in the western part of the town. Two of his grandsons now reside here. 

Joseph Adams came to Grand Isle, from Pawlet, Vt., in 1792, and located 
on road 3, upon the farm now owned by his granddaughter, Mrs. Rev. Charles

Fay. Nathan, his second son, born in 1794, settled on road 2, after his mar- 
riage to Catharine Hildreth, in 1827. Their family consisted of three chil- 
dren, one of whom, Josiah H., occupies the old homestead, on road 2. 

Andrew Ladd, from Norwich, Conn., came to this town in 1797, and located 
on road 2, where he purchased a farm of 135 acres, and where the descend- 
ants of the family still reside. 

James Griswold from Hartford, Conn., came here about the year 1800, and 
located near the center of the town, upon the farm now owned by his son, 
Fitch R., where he resided until his death, in 1857, aged seventy-four years. 
Fitch R. was born in 1820, and now owns the old homestead and also a large 
stock farm on road 3. Solon S.,the third child of D. Edgiston Griswold and 
grandson of James, is engaged in mercantile pursuits in the only store in the 
town. Carpenter M., the second son of James, born in 1809, still resides on 
road 20. 

Dorastus Center, born at Sunderland, Vt., in 1784, came to this town 
about 1805, and after laboring in the forests for several years, accumulated 
sufficient means to purchase a lot of sixty-four acres of land. To this he ad- 
ded from time to time, until at his death, in 1864, he owned over 600 acres. 
Jeremiah, the oldest child, born in 1809, resided on the old homestead most 
of his life. William H., the youngest of his four children, born in 1855, now 
occupies the old farm. 

John Chamberlin, from Massachusetts, came herein 1806, locating on road 
4, upon the farm where his son, John A., was born. John died in 1873, a g e d 
eighty-nine years. He had a family of two children, Eliza, now Mrs. Hyde, 
of Chazy, N. Y., and John A., born in 1818, who now occupies the old home- 
stead. 

The Congregational Church of South Hero and Grand Isle was organized 
in conjunction with that of South Hero in 1795, and was then called "The 
Congregational Church of South Hero." The original membership of the 
society consisted of seven persons, which number was not materially increased 
until about 1840. Rev. Asa Lyon was the first pastor, though he was never 
regularly installed. Rev. Orville G. Wheeler became pastor of the church in 
April, 1840, and was ordained November 5th following. The church build- 
ing, a brick edifice, was commenced in 1853, and completed the following 
year, at a cost of over $3,000.00. It was dedicated in September, 1854. 
Rev. O. G. Wheeler is the present pastor. 

The Methodist Episcopal Church of Grand Isle was organized by its first pastor 
Rev. William Anson, in July, 1802. The church building was erected in 1822, 
a wooden structure capable of seating 250 persons, at a cost of $2,000.00. 
It has been much repaired since, and is now valued at $3,000.00. The society 
has at present about sixty members, with Rev. D. P. Bragg, pastor. 

St. Johns Episcopal Church, a small mission consisting of about twelve 
communicants, was lately organized by Rev. Charles Fay, of Chicago, who 
has a summer residence in town. Services are held in the Union church.

226 TOWN OF ISLE LA MOTTE. 



IpSLE LA MOTTE, an island town of this county, six miles in length by 
rai two in breadth, its northern extremity eight miles south from the Cana- 
to da line, and lying in lat. 44 57' and long. 3 41', one-half mile west of 
Alburgh, and one and one-eighth miles east of Chazy, in the State of New 
York bounded on all sides by the waters of Lake Champlain, receives its 
name from a French officer, La Mothe, or La Motte. It was chartered by 
Vermont to Benjamin Wait and ninety-five associates, October 27, 1779, 
containing 4,640 acres. On November 1, 1802, its name was changed to 
Vineyard, and again, November 6, 1830, altered to the original. 

The surface of the town is generally rolling, and with the exception of a 
Marsh near the center of the township, is well adapted to purposes of agri- 
culture. The soil is mostly a clay and loam, though there are some portions 
that are gravelly, and near the marsh mentioned it is composed of a rich 
deposit of decayed vegetable matter. Fruit culture thrives in all parts to an 
unusual degree. The island being so small and possessing no rivers or 
water-power, it has no manufacturing interests. The territory was originally 
covered with a fine growth of pine and cedar timber, most of which found 
its way to the Quebec market, leaving it now almost destitute of timbered 
land. Geologically, its formation consists principally of Chazy and Trenton 
limestone, and contains some sxcellent quarries of Isle La Motte marble, for 
which the town is quite celebrated. These quarries were the first ever worked 
in the State, having been opened previous to the revolution. The marble is 
nearly black, of a compact structure, and susceptable of receiving a good 
polish. When sawed it makes an excellent marble for floor lining, and spec- 
imens of it may be seen in the public edifices and costly mansions of the 
principal cities of the Union. Associated with this marble there are large 
and valuable beds of Chazy limestone. The limestone does not possess the 
jet black color, and is not susceptable of receiving as good a polish as the 
former, yet is valuable as a building stone from the ease and facility with which 
it can be qarried and splint into the required dimensions. It is much used 
for abutments of bridges, large quantities having been used in building the 
Victoria bridge at Montreal, and the piers or the New York and Brooklyn 
bridge. Among the principal marble quarries are the Fisk, Hall, Fleury, 
Hill, and Goodsell & Hayward, the Fisk quarry alone having produced 
50,000 feet of marble during the year 1881. 

In 1880, Isle La Motte had a population of 504, was divided into two 
school districts, and contained two common schools, employing one male 
and three female teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary of $300.00. 
There were 107 pupils attending common school, while the entire cost of the 
schools for the year, ending October 31st, was $336.50, with H. O. Hill, 
superintendent. 

Isle La Motte, a small post village, the only one in the town, is located 
near the center of the island. It contains one church (Methodist), two 
stores, two blacksmith shops, a Masonic hall, and about twenty dwellings. 



TOWN OF ISLE LA MOTTE. 227 



As early as 1609, Samuel Champlain visited the lake, and between this 
time and 1 666, a fort was built on the island, and called St. Anne. At the latter 
date, an expedition of an important character under De Tracy, was fitted 
out and proceeded from this place against the Mohawk Indians. The fort 
faced north and west at a point where good calibre could command the pas- 
sage, and its settlement precedes that of any other part of the State by nearly 
a century. The French government and the English after them, held it with 
Alburgh and with North Hero, in which was a block-house, nearly as far 
south as to include the island, which kept an armed vessel in its view, sus- 
tained thus up to nearly 1800. 

The proprietors procured a survey and allotment of the town, to be made 
in 1785, and certified in January, 1786, by John Clark, surveyor. In 1788, 
William Blanchard, one of the original proprietors, settled on the island, and 
resided here until his decease. He was a revolutionary soldier, and died in 
the year 1824. About the same time of his settlement, came also Enoch 
Hall, with his two sons, Nathaniel and Elihu. Both of these sons raised 
large families, who, as well as their descendants, have served in various public 
trusts. Ebenezer Hyde, another of the original proprietors, was the 
principal actor in procuring the town organization in 1791. His energy 
and business tact attracted the attention of his fellows, and readily they 
conferred on him the first office, for which they could give a legal vote, and 
by which he became the first selectman. Ichabod E. Fisk was also another 
one of the early settlers, with a large family of sons and daughters. He was 
a prominent business man, a surveyor, teacher, etc. His descendants still 
reside here, and occupy places of public trust, with good acceptance. Abram 
Knapp not only appears among the earliest settlers of the island, but his 
hardships and sufferings, as such, will scarcely find a parallel, he having been 
compelled, in order to sustain a large family, to use the buds and tender 
leaves of the basswood tree to form a mucilage for nourishment, and from 
the bark fibre to make a sort of cloth for covering and wearing apparel. It 
is also worthy of note, that, when grain could be had by these early settlers, 
there were no mills for grinding nearer than Whitehall, over one hundred miles, 
distant, or Chambly, thirty miles by water and twelve by land, while the mode 
of conveyance was to paddle their canoe to Whitehall, which was a trip of 
from two to four weeks, or to proceed in the same manner to St. Johns, and 
then carry their grain twelve miles by land, on their backs. Indeed, every 
stratagem was forced upon them, and actually employed, in order to prevent 
a dissolution of the partnership between soul and body. 

In August, 1784, there appeared an advertisement in the Vermont Gazette, 
warning a meeting of the proprietors to be held at the house of Col. Ebene- 
zer Allen, of the Two Heroes, August 20, 1784. At this meeting, the most 
important business transacted was as follows : — 

" 4ly. Voted that each proprietor have the liberty of purchasing four rights 
if he will settle them by the first day of June, 1785. 



2 28 TOWN OF ISLE LA MOTTE. 

"Sty- Voted that the committee appointed to lay out the town into lots 
make their report by June next. 

" 6th. Voted to raise a tax of eighteen shillings on each right, to defray 
the cost of the committee for scaling and tolling the town." 

In 1791, the town had a population of forty-seven. The freemen met on 
the 24th of March of that year, according to a warning published March Tith, 
at the house of Nathaniel Wales, for the purpose of organizing the town. 
Abraham Knapp was chosen moderator and town clerk ; Ebenezer Hyde, 
Enoch Hall, and Nathaniel Wales, selectmen ; Ebenezer Hyde, treasurer ; 
William Blanchard, constable ; Nathaniel Wales, Enoch Hall, and William 
Blanchard, listers ; Ebenezer Hyde, collector ; Ichabod Hyde, grand juror ; 
and Joseph Rasey and Gardiner Wait, tythingmen. In the second meeting, 
held August 16, 1 791, it was voted that the selectmen be directed to lay out 
one road through the island, and two cross-roads, one south and the other 
north of the marsh ; but this was not done until years afterward, the first 
road being laid out in 1794, from Fisk's quarry near the shore around the 
island to a point near the southern- terminus of the bridge from Isle La Motte 
to Alburgh. In a town meeting held March 20, 1792, it was voted that the 
selectmen be a committee to pitch a town plot and burying-ground, and to 
make a report at the next meeting. The first representative was Nathaniel 
Wales, chosen in 1791. An amusing anacdote of this election is sometimes 
related. There being but three voters, they purchased a jug of rum for the 
occasion, and started for the polls, and of course each became a candidate, 
receiving at each ballot one vote, till at last, one being on more friendly 
terms with the jug than the others, and perhads becoming weary of the repeti- 
tion of this state of things, or losing all ambition for office, votes for one of 
the others, Nathaniel Wales, who was duly elected. The first justice was 
William Utley, chosen in 1792. The first person born on the island was 
Laura, daughter of William Blanchard, September 7, 1792. The first death 
was that of a child of Abraham Knapp, previous to 1800. The first school 
was taught by Ichabod Fisk. In 1802, there was a school kept by John 
Clark, a State surveyor, in a house near the one now occupied b>' Amasa L. 
Holcomb. The first minister who ever preached here was Daniel Brumley, 
about the year 1800. The first physician was Luther Plympton, about 1800. 
The first lawyers were Seth Emmons, Solomon Morgan, and Samuel Holton, 
who practiced from 1800 to 18 10. 

The settlers who served in the war of the revolution, were Joseph Williams, — 
who was wounded at the battle of Brandywine. and taken prisoner by the 
Americans, and after having recovered from his wounds, joined our forces 
under Gen. Washington, and served during the remainder of the war ; was 
present when Gen. Washington joined the masonic fraternity, he afterwards 
lived and died upon the island, and was buried with Masonic honors, — Will- 
iam Blanchard, Ezra Pike, Daniel Bixby, Gardner Wait, Elisha E. Reynolds, 
Nathaniel Hall, William Wilsey, Seth Strong, John Fadden, Henry Scott, and 
Caleb Hill. In 18 12, a requisition was made for a sergeant and six men, a

detatchment from the militia to enter actual service, — headquarters at Swan- 
ton, — to protect the frontier from inroads of the enemy. About twenty vol- 
unteered. Those who went and served their term, were Orlin Blanchard, 
sergeant ; privates, Ira Hill, Harry Wait, Minard Hilliard, Conrad Denio, 
Lewis Gordan, and Amos Holcomb. In 1814, Capt. Pring, a British com- 
mander, landed on the western side of the island, erected a battery, mounted 
six long eighteen-pounder guns, commanding a passage down the lake, and 
claimed to exercise jurisdiction over the island. Ftom this point the enemy's 
flotilla started on the early morning of the memorable nth of September, 
1814, and paid their respects to Commodore McDonough, in Plattsburgh Bay. 
During the late rebellion, Isle LaMotte furnished seventy-three soldiers, all of 
whom, except four, volunteered. Fourteen were killed in battle, and four 
died in hospital. Included among the number of enlisted men from this town 
were three corporals, ten sergeants, two lieutenants, two captains and one 
surgeon. 

Ezra Pike, from Hoosac, N. Y., came to this town at an early date, and 
resided here until his death, in 1840. His son, Ezra, Jr., was born in 1793. 
He lived at home with his father until he became of age, then settled on road 
4, a little north of the old homestead. Seneca Pike, a grandson of Ezra, 
still owns the farm his grandfather cleared. 

Enoch Hall, one of the first selectmen of the town, came here in 1788, 
and remained until his death, in 1 807, aged seventy-two years. Elihu, his 
son, succeeded him on the old homestead, and reared a family of twelve chil- 
dren. Carmi, his fifth son, came into possession of the farm after his father, 
and it is now owned by his sons, Ira A., and Jared P. Carmi took an active part 
in town affairs, and held most of the offices. He died in 1874, aged seventy 
years. His son, ransom, uccupies a farm adjoining the old place, and is the 
present town clerk and notary. 

Ichabod Fisk came to the island in 1788, and settled in the southern part 
of the town. His son Samuel succeeded him, and occupied the farm until 
his death, in 1858. His grandson, Hiram C, now owns the farm and marble 
quarries thereon, which were opened by Ichabod, and which are kept in suc- 
cessful operation by Nelson W. Fisk, under the the firm name of N. C. Fisk 
& son. 

Jesse Holcomb, born in 1769, came to this town when about twenty-one 
years of age, and located upon a farm in the eastern part of the island, where 
four generations of the family have since resided. Mr. Holcomb took an ac- 
tive part in town affairs, and died in 1845, aged seventy-six years. AmasaL., 
the second of his eight childreu, born in 1804, has practiced law for the past 
fifty-four years, and, although he is now seventy-eight years of age, is yet an 
excellent authority on legal matters. 

Cornie Holcomb, brother to Jesse, came herefrom Connecticut in 1790, 
and located on the eastern shore of the island, where he resided the remainder 
of his life. Samuel Holcomb, a third son, lived in Malone, N. Y., for a time, 



230 TOWN OF NORTH HERO. 

but the largest part of his life was spent here, where he died in 1869, aged 
seventy years. Cyrus, the only living son, resides on road 14, in the southern 
part of the town. Ephraim Holcomb, brother of Samuel, came here at the 
age of eight years, resided here over fifty years, then removed to Canada, and 
died there in 187 1. Eli, the second of his six children, was born in 1817, 
now resides on road 13, 'and has never been absent from the town twenty 
consecutive days in his life. 

Caleb Hill, from Granville, N. Y., came to this town January 7, 1802, and 
located in the northern part. He reared a family of twelve children, all of 
whom lived to have families of their own. He was shot in his own home, on 
the evening of August 16, 1814, by some of McDonough's soldiers whom he 
had reported for unlawful depredations. Ira Hill, his second child, was born 
August 14, 1793, and is now the oldest resident in the town. 

Charles Carron emigrated from France to Montreal, and from there to Isle 
LaMotte, previous to the war of- 181 2, and settled on the western shore of 
the island, about two miles from the northern extremity of the same. He 
reared a family of three children, of whom Jackson B., the second, born in 
1834, is still a resident of the town. 

The Methodist Church of Isle LaMotte was organized by the Rev. Mr. 
Anson about the year 18 16. Rev. William Wait was the first pastor. The 
first house of worship, a stone structure, was built in 183 1. In 1847, the 
wood-work was destroyed by fire and rebuilt during the same year. The 
building will accommodate 400 persons and is valued at $4,200.00. The 
society now has about 54 members, with Rev. Chauncey S. Hulbert, pastor. 



i||ORTH HERO, the shire town of the county, lies in lat. 44 51', and 
*wfj long. 3 44,' bounded by the waters of Lake Champlain. The island 
t}t contains an area of about 6,272 acres, and includes several small 
adjacent islands, of which Knight's and Buttler's, are the only ones inhabited. 
It was originally called by the French Isle Longue, and was granted by the 
governor of Canada, in 1737, to M. Contrecour, a captain of Infantry, and, 
with other grants, was for along time a subject of dispute between the French 
and English. On October 27, 1779, however, all the county of Grand Isle, 
except Alburgh and Isle La Motte, was chartered to Gen. Ethan Allen and 
Col. Ira Allen with 363 associates. The Aliens being heroes of the revolution, 
the islands were nnamed in their honor — the " Two Heroes." On October 
21, 1788, this island was set off as a separate town and named North Hero. 
The surface of the territory is very even and level, so that it contains no 
rivers or water courses of any account, and hence no water-power or manu- 
factories. A long, narrow strip of verdant farming land, some fifteen miles 
in length, as beautifully located as could possibly be imagined, — a gem in 
itself, and with a setting composed of the contiguous far-famed lake and 
mountain scenery, it forms in all a jewel whose loveliness has to be seen to

be realized or appreciated. Near the center of the island a bay on the 
western shore nearly cuts the town in half, it being connected only by a nar- 
row neck of land a few rods in width, and called the " Carrying Place," so 
named from boats sometimes being carried across it to prevent a longer 
voyage. During the embargo act of 1807, the place became quite noted, 
from the fact of smuggling parties taking advantage of the opportunity 
afforded, and when hard pressed by the government officials, would steer to 
this place, carry their boats and cargo across to the water on the opposite 
side, while the larger government craft would be obliged to sail around the 
island in order to continue the pursuit. On the 27th of March, 1792, at a 
town meeting, John Martin, Benjamin Butler, and John Hutchins, Jr., were 
appointed a committee to raise a subscription for building a canal across 
this Carrying Place, but were unsuccessful, and the project was never carried 
out. The soil of the territory is principally clay, and yields fine crops of 
grass and grains, and is also well adapted to fruit growing, though the culture 
is not carried on as extensively as in Isle La Motte. The timber of the 
town was originally a dense growth of hardwood, spruce, hemlock, and cedar 
though but little is now left. Geologically, the town consists of an immense 
bed of Utica slate, with the usual modification of shales, etc., attending this 
formation. 

In 1880, North Hero had a population of 637, was divided into four 
school districts, and contained four common schools, employing two male 
and six female teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary of $625.00. 
There were 141 pupils attending common school, while the entire cost of the 
schools for the year, ending October 31st, was $682.16. A. K. Hibbard was 
superintendent. 

North Hero, a post village, (also known as North Island City), beauti- 
fully located in the eastern part of the town, on City bay, contains one church 
(Methodist), the court-house, the store of Roderic R. Hathaway, and about 
ten dwellings The court-house was built in 1825, up to which time courts 
had been held in the house of Jed P. Ladd. It is built of Isle LaMotte 
marble, 40 by 50 feet, and two stories in height. The first story is occupied 
by the family of the deputy jailor, Roderic R. Hathaway, and also contains a 
debtor's room and dungeon, and the second story contains the court and jury 
rooms. The town paid $500.00 for the privilege of using the court-room as 
a place of worship. 

LaGrange post office is situated in the northern part of the town, at the 
house of Giles H. Hawrican, being kept for the accommodation of the farmers 
in that locality. 

The settlement of the town was commenced in the winter of 1783, when 
Enos Wood, Ebenezer Allen, and Alexander Gordon, came to the Two Heroes, 
traveling across the lake on snow-shoes, and drew cuts for the choice of locat- 
ing their claims. Wood, being unfortunate, made choice of the south end of 
North Hero. The other two made their claims on the isla nd south of this. 



232 TOWN OF NORTH HERO. 



The 25th of August, of the same year, they brought their families and set- 
tled on their land. Mr. Wood and his cousin, Solomon Wood, with their 
families, were the only residents of the town until the following spring, when 
a few others settled near them. A small band of hardy pioneers soon settled 
about, who shared each others sufferings, joys and sorrows, living like mem- 
bers of the same family. The English also had a block-house erected here, 
at a place called Dutchman's Point, which was garrisoned and not given up 
until 1796. The settlement or the town, however, was very slow, as at the 
taking of the first census, in 1791, the reports show it to have had a pop- 
ulation of only 125. The town was organized March 17, 1789, the meeting 
being held at the residence of Benjamin Butler, when Nathan Hazen was 
chosen moderator ; Nathan Hutchins, Jr., town clerk ; Nathan Hazen, John 
Knight, and John Bronson, selectmen ; Solomon Wood, Benjamin Butler, 
and Asahel Trumbull, listers; Enos Wood, constable; John Martin, col- 
lector; Nathan Hutchins, Jr., and Ephraim Sawyer, fence viewers; and 
Nathan Hutchins, Jacob Ball, and Jabez Bronson, surveyors of. highways. 
The first justice of the peace was Nathan Hutchins, Jr., who was also chosen 
the first representative, in 1791. The first birth was that of Adin, son of 
Enos Wood, November 4, 1785. Dame Knight, a daughter of John Knight, 
was the second, November 27, 1786. The first marriage on record was that 
of John Bronson to Mis. Elizabeth Bates, January 27, 1787. The first cir- 
cuit minister was sent here in 1802. The first school was taught by Lois 
Hazen, in a barn owned by John Knight. The first framed school-house was 
built in 1803. The first division of the town into school districts was made 
in 1793, the committee for the same being Nathan Hutchins, Jr., John Mar- 
tin, Elijah Knowlton, and Enos Wood. The first store was established by 
Jed P. Ladd, in 1809. The first mail route was established in 18 13, with 
Jed P. Ladd, postmaster. The first hotel was also kept by Mr. Ladd, built 
in 1803, the building being used for judicial purposes until the court-house 
was built, in 1825. 

At the time of the battle of Plattsburgh, September it, 1814, a volunteer 
company was organized here under Joseph Hazen. When the British fleet 
passed up the lake to meet its assault, the inhabitants who were left in the 
town, mostly women and children, flocked to the western shore of the south- 
ern end of the island to watch its progress and attack, the greatest excitement 
prevailing among them. 

Elisha Hibbard, from Bennington, served through the war of the revolution, 
and after its close, located in Plattsburgh, where it is said he built the third 
house. After a time spent there, he removed to this town and located on 
road 21. He reared a family of three children, of whom Orlin, the only son, 
born in 1786, came here with his father and continued a resident of the town 
until his death, in 1869. Elisha, the third child, born in 18 13, now resides 
on road 17. 

John Knight, from New Hampshire, came into this town in 1 785, and located

233 



in the southern part of the island upon the farm now owned by his grandson, 
Guy R. Knight. John, Jr., born the second year after his father's settlement 
here, resided on the homestead forty-four years, then removed to the house 
now occupied by his son, where he resided until his death, in 1878, aged 
ninety years. 

Joseph Hazen came to North Hero, from Connecticut, previous to 1790, 
with a family of eight children. He settled near the center 3f the southern 
portion of the island, upon the farm now owned by his grandson, Uriah H. 
Hazen. Of his children, six located in the town, while the others removed to 
Ohio. Solomon and Daniel, sons of Joseph, made settlements on adjoining 
farms on road 7. They both held positions of trust, and were much respect- 
ed by their townsmen. Solomon reared a family of eleven children, and 
Daniel thirteen. Amasa B., Solomon's sixth child, was born in 1809, on the 
old homestead, and there resided for sixty-six years, then removed to his 
present home on road 7. Uriah, the youngest son of Joseph, was about four 
years of age when his father came here, and upon the farm now owned by 
Uriah H., had resided seventy-nine years, dying in 1869, aged eighty-three 
years. Uriah H., his youngest son, born in 1845, has always resided on the 
old farm, and is now one of the largest Spanish Merino sheep breeders in the 
county. Flavius J., one of the grand-children of Solomon, born in 1830, has 
always resided on the farm settled by his father, Jesse. Chancey P., another 
grandson, the only living son of Chauncey, resides on road 7. 

Jedediah P. Ladd, born at Franklin, Conn., in 1766, came to North Hero 
in 1789, and immediately took a leading part in the local government, and at 
various times during his long life here held town and county offices. He was 
the first postmaster, and kept the first store and hotel, the latter being man- 
aged by him for a period of forty two years, twenty-two of which it was used 
as a court-house and jail. Mr. Ladd died in 1845, aged seventy-nine years. 

Oliver Russell, from Bennington, came here in 179?, and located about 
half a mile south of the court-house, upon the farm now owned by his grand- 
son, Charles B. His wife made the journey on horse-back, the saddle she 
used being a present to her when fourteen years of age, and is now in the 
possession of her grandson. Oliver died in 1814, at the age of forty-three 
years. William H., his oldest son, born in 1796, died here in 1866. Charles 
B., second son of William H., born in 1831, has held all the town offices, and, 
in 1872, represented his town in the legislature. He has always lived on the 
farm settled by his grandfather. 

John Dodds left Ireland about the time of the American Revolution, and 
after a three year's residence in Scotland, came to America. He first located 
at Saratoga, and from there removed to this town, where he spent the remainder 
of his days, dying in 1832, aged sixty-eight years. When he left Ireland he 
had two children, a boy and a girl. The girl he brought with him, but left the 
boy with a relative. This boy, James, removed to Scotland, and by some 
means lost track of his parents, so that they did not hear from him for many

years. After diligent search, however, they were at last brought together, 
and the son finally took up his residence here, where he died, in 1856, aged 
sixty-eight years. James left a family of six children, of whom John, the 
eldest, and David, the third, now reside here. 

Reuben Hyde was born in Grand Isle in 1792, and removed to North 
Hero in 181 5. He settled in the southern part of the town, upon the farm 
now occupied by Charles Hyde, where he resided until his death, in 1877, at 
the age of eighty-four years. He reared a family of eight children, seven of 
whom are now living. 

Joseph Tatro came to North Hero in 1824, and settled in the northern 
part of the town, where he resided until his death, in 1850, aged seventy-three 
years. Michael, his third son, commenced work for himself at the age of 
twelve years, and for some time helped support his father's family. In 1838, 
he married Lavina Hazen, and bought a farm. He now has a farm of 225 
acres, and one of the pleasantest homes in the town. Julius, his only son, 
lives on the old homestead with his father. Florence, his only daughter, is 
the wife of W. H. Hyde. 

Joel Allen, a native of Massachusetts and a distant relative of Ira and 
Ethan Allen, came to Grand Isle at an early date, and from there to this 
town, in 1825, locating upon the farm now owned by his son, Heman W. He 
resided there until his death, in 1868, at the age of eighty years. 

James McBride, from Glasgow, Scotland, entered North Hero in 1841, 
and a few years afterward located on road 8. Since then he has lived upon 
farms in different parts of the town, and now owns 500 acres of land. His 
family consists of five daughters and one son. The latter resides on road 1 
and has one son, Walter Raymond. 

George Tudhope has been aresident of North Hero since 1858, when he 
came here from Monroe county, N. Y. He was married in 1859, has a family 
of six children, and resides on road 7. James, brother to George, came here 
in 1868. 

The Methodist Episcopal Church of North Hero was organized early in 
the present century. The church building, erected in 1866, is connected 
with the town hall, both being built under one roof, — the hall occupying the 
basement, — and cost $4,000.00. The society also owns a parsonage valued at 
about $1,000.00. The church now has thirty-eight members, with Rev. Geo. 
F. Buckley, pastor. 



KOUTH HERO lies at the southern end of the county, in lat. 44 38', 
fZmi and long. 3 44', bounded north by the township of Grand Isle, and on 
W all other sides by the waters of Lake Champlain. It was chartered by 
Vermont, October 27, 1779, together with North Hero and Grand Isle, to 
Ethan Allen, Samuel Herrick, and 363 others. That part of the grant which 
is now North Hero, South Hero, and Grand Isle, was called the " Two 



TOWN OF SOUTH HERO. 235 



Heroes." On October 21, 1788, they were divided into two separate towns, 
North Hero, and South Hero, and, November 7, 1798, South Hero was 
again divided, and the north town was called Middle Hero, till November 5, 
1 8 10, it took its present name, Grand Isle. The present town of South 
Hero contains an area of 9,065 acres. 

In surface, this town is quite level, containing no elevations of importance, 
and consequently no rivers or water-courses. It abounds in, and is sur- 
rounded by a wealth of natural scenery whose beauty is unsurpassed, and 
which, together with a most salubrious climate and a number of mineral 
springs whose waters are impregnated with valuable medicinal qualities, unite 
to lend an attractiveness that calls many visitors to the town each year. In 
the northern part of the territory, extending northwest into Grand Isle, there 
is a low hill, or ridge, of slate rock, which in many places rises above the 
soil, making the land in that section rather barren. South of this ridge the 
land is much better, and very productive, the soil being mostly a clay loam, 
with here and there portions of sand and marl. Fine crops of corn, oats, 
rye, and buckwheat, are grown, while hay and potatoes yield a fair percentage ; 
but in fruit raising, this is probably the banner town of the State. Apples and 
grain are the principal exports. The timber, like that of most other towns 
of the county, has been nearly cleared away, yet there still remains enough 
remnants to show that the territory was once covered by an immense growth 
of pine, hemlock, cedar, beech, birch, basswood, elm, and maple. Geologi- 
cally, the structure of the town is composed of three parallel ranges of rocks 
extending in a north and south direction. That on the west is a bed of 
Chazey or Black river limestone, next to which is a Trenton limestone range, 
and finally, a large deposit of Utica slate. 

In 1880, South Hero, had a population of 621, was divided into four 
school districts, and contained four common schools, employing five female 
teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary of $557.50. There were 167 
pupils attending common school, while the entire cost of the schools for the 
year, ending October 31st, was $630.56. H. W. Conro was superintendent. 

Keeler's Bay, a pleasant little post village located in the northeastern part 
of the town, on Keeler's Bay, contains one church (Catholic), two stores, and 
about a dozen dwellings. The inhabitants are an enterprising, stirring people, 
more so than is sometimes found in much larger villages. 

South Hero, a small post village located near the central part of the 
town, contains two churches, (Congregational and Methodst), two stores, one 
hotel, a blacksmith shop, carriage shop, and about a dozen dwellings. 

Gabriel Joslyn's steam saw and grist-mill, located on road 11, manufac- 
tures several hundred thousand feet of lumber per year, and does custom 
grinding. 

John L. Browe's blacksmith shop, located on road 13, was built in 1875, 
and has been under Mr. Browe's management since 1879. 

James Dougherty 's blacksmith and carriage shop, located on road 19, was 
built by Ralph Stenoir, in 1866. 



236 TOWN OF SOUTH HERO. 



The first settler in South Hero was Ebenezer Allen, who located in the 
southern part of the town, August 25, 1783. Ebenezer, though no relative 
of Ethan, was nearly as noted a character. He was born at Northampton, 
Mass., October 17, 1743. He married a Miss Richards when he was nineteen 
or twenty years of age, in Berkshire county, Mass., where his parents had 
removed. After he had two or three children, he, with Thomas Ashley, a 
brother-in-law, removed to Poultney, Vt., in 1 77 1, and commenced the first 
improvements in that town. Here he had a son added to his family, the first 
child born in Poultney. It was not long before he was appointed a captain 
in the famous regiment of rangers commanded by Col. Herrick, and soon 
after removed his family to Tinmouth, where he and Maj. Thomas Rice were 
appointed delegates to the convention at Dorset, September 25, 1776, which 
ended, after several adjournments, in declaring Vermont independent. He 
and Charles Brewster were chosen delegates to the convention at Windsor, 
in 1777, that formed the first constitution of the State. He was engaged in 
many skirmishes with the enemy, and signalized himself in the battle of Ben- 
nington. At one time during that battle, he with only thirty men, taking the 
advantage of a natural bi east-work of rocks, successfully contended against 
the main body of Col. Baum's troops of Burgoyne's army, causing great 
slaughter among them, and a tempoary retreat. In September, 1777, 500 
men under Col. Brown were sent from Pawlet to attack Ticonderoga, Mount 
Defiance, and Mount Hope. The taking of Mount Defiance, defended by 
200 British regulars and artillery, was allotted to Capt. Allen, Lieut. Isaac 
Clark, and forty men. The work was accomplished by surprise, September 
18, 1777, not losing a man. He commanded the fort at Vergennes, and 
rendered many other important services during the war. August 25, 1783, 
he landed on the south end of South Hero, with his frame for a house and 
lumber for other buildings, of which he made a raft at Shelburne Point, 
upon which he took his family. He kept a public house and ferry, and 
continued his residence here until 1800, when he removed to Burlington, 
where he died, March 6, 1806, aged sixty-three years. Enos Wood, who 
settled in North Hero, and Alexander Gordon, who settled in the northern 
part of this town, came the same day that Allen located here. These 
were followed by other settlers, so that in 1791, the town had a population 

of 337- 

The first town meeting recorded after North Hero was set off, was held 
March 10, 17 89, when Stephen Pearl was chosen moderator; Ebenezer Allen, 
town clerk; Alexander Gordon, Ephraim Duel, William Hazen, Stephen 
Pearl, and Ebenezer Allen, selectmen ; Isaac Adams, first constable and col- 
lector of taxes; and Reuben Clapp, second constable. The first justice of 
the peace was Ebenezer Allen, chosen in 1786, he being also chosen the 
first representative in 1788. June 1, 1789, another town meeting was held, 
to see if the town would vote to hire a minister of the gospel to preach in 
town the ensuing year, when it was — 



TOWN OF SOUTH HERO 



237 



" Voted to raise a tax of three pence on a pound, to pay a minister, said 
tax to be paid to the collector, by the first day of December following, in 
wheat, at four shillings per bushel, or Indian corn at three shillings." 

At the same town meeting a committee was appointed to lay out two bury- 
ing-places for the use of the town — one to accommodate the northern, and 
the other the southern part. At their next March meeting, 1790, after re- 
electing nearly the same town officers, they voted to raise a tax of 3d. per 
jQ, to defray town expenses, and to raise the sum of ^60 to pay for preaching, 
these taxes to be paid in wheat and corn, at 4s. and 3s. per bushel. No 
mention is made, however, of their subsequently having preaching. At a 
freemen's meeting, in September, 1792, Timothy Allen and Jedediah Hyde 
were appointed a committee to draft a petition to the general assembly to 
divide the town. At a town meeting held in March, 1793, a committee was 
chosen to hire a preacher, consisting of Joseph Phelps, Alpheus Hall, Samuel 
Mix, and Ebenezer Allen; and "voted to request the committee to hire Rev. 
Mr. Williams," and — 

" Voted a tax of six pence on the pound, to pay for preaching, one-fourth 
in cash, and three-fourths in wheat, at four shillings per bushel, and the place 
for holding their meetings be in the sand-bar district school-house." 

At another meeting, in August of the same year, it was voted to instruct 
their committee to extend a call to Rev. Mr. Williams to settle with them. 
No record is made of any report of this committee, however, and Mr. Wil- 
liams never settled here. The first marriage recorded is that of Howe 
Graham and Mary Allen, the ceremony being performed by Ebenezer Allen, 
justice of the peace. In 1788, a year before any town record was made, 
under the name of South Hero, the next marriage was solemnized by the 
same justice, and one in 1793, by Stephen Pearl, justice of the peace. The 
first physician was Dr. Jacob Roebeck. The first brick house was built by 
Benjamin Landon, and is yet standing. 

Among the early settlers were the following ex-soldiers of the revolution : 
Alpheus Hall, Benjamin Adams, Capt. Thomas Dixon, and John Monte. 
There were but few, if any, regular soldiers from this town in 18 12, except 
volunteers as occasion called for them during the incursions of the British 
down the lake. During the late war of the rebellion, the town furnished its 
full quotas, amounting to upwards of fifty men; five only were drafted, one 
man paid commutation, and the others furnished substitutes. Several died 
from disease, a number were killed in battle, and some were severely wounded. 

Timothy and Stephen Pearl, from Connecticut, came to this town in 1785. 
During the first half of the present century, Timothy removed to the northern 
part of the township, where he died in 1840, aged eighty-eight years. Stephen, 
his second son, came here with his father and reared a family of ten children, 
eight of whom settled in the town. He died in 1859, aged seventy-six years. 

Calvin Fletcher came here from Poultney, Vt., in 1786, and located in the 
northern part of the town. He died in 1857, aged seventy-nine years, hav- 
ing reared a family of eleven children, four of whom settled in the town.

the other States of the Union. Ten million pounds of maple sugar have been

cancer under his left ear, which had been treated a long time by a noted can- 
cer doctor, without success, applied the remedy, which in ten days killed and 
removed the cancer. The Doctor refers to Mr. Eaton. Many other removals 
of cancers from the cheek, lips, nose, hands, breast, abdomen, &c, it is said, 
have been effected completely. He has several times been called to Boston, 
where he has applied his new treatment to cancer in the breast, successfully

excellent bargains. Card on page 292.

PUBLISHERS NOTES. 25 I 



H. E. Salls, of Burlington, advertises on bottom lines, fine cigars, mas- 
querading goods, fireworks, guns, tents, periodicals, papers, &c. Most any- 
thing you need, at low prices. He will be glad to receive calls from Franklin 
and Grand Isle people, when they visit Burlington. 

Wm. Samson & Co., manufacturers of Samson's Celebrated Patent Railway 
Horse Power, at East Berkshire, advertise on page 394. For the past ten 
years these goods have been steadily gaining in perfection and excellence of 
wokmanship, and are universally admired,' by all who have tried them. One 
noticable feature about the horse power is the speed regulator, which 
operates by centrifugal force, and prevents danger from any accident, should 
the ball be thrown off. It can be set for any speed desired, and the speed 
cannot be increased without changing the regulator. 

F. B. Sandborn & Son, manufacturers of Smith's Eureka Suction Venti- 
lator Chimney Caps, advertise on page 524. The caps mentioned have 
valuable points not to be found in other chimney caps, and it will pay our 
readers to correspond with the firm on the subject. Sandborn &: Son are also 
job printers, prepared to execute all ordinary orders. 

Franklin Scott, patent solicitor and attorney in patent cases, at North 
Bennington. — This gentleman has probably facilities for securing the interests 
of his clients superior to any other attorney in Vermont, and undoubtedly is 
not surpassed anywhere. Of a mechanical turn of mind, he has perfected 
himself in the art of drawing and designing, until he now stands confessedly 
at the pinacle of the profession. His knowledge of mechanics enables him 
to point out defects or suggest improvements in the designs of his clients, and 
his immense library, pertaining to patent matters, enables him also to point 
out what has already been done, if anything, by others, to hinder the success of 
an application. Finally, his long experience in legal points connected with 
this peculiar practice, combined with his other qualifications, eminently fits 
him for successfully advancing the interests of the inventor. As you would 
employ the most skillful physician to be obtained, in desperate cases of dis- 
ease, so to secure your financial interests in patent matters, you should employ 
one who understands how to introduce all the claims made, in such language 
and manner as will secure the desired rights and privileges. See Mr. Scott's 
advertisement, page 376. 

E. P. Shaw, the fashionable clothier, cor. Church and Main sts., Burling- 
ton, is at all times pleased to show his customers new styles in almost endless 
variety. He also keeps hats, trunks, robes, &c, in quality and style to suit

ness. Patronize him when in need of dental services. 



252 PUBLISHERS NOTES. 



Joseph Shilvock, house, sign and carriage painter, on Market St., St. 
Albans, is deserving of a large and profitable trade. If skill and close atten- 
tion to business will win success, Mr. Shilvock will be likely to succeed. In 
the line of fine work, gilding, decorating, or paper-hanging, he is an adept. 
Card on page 464. 

Charles C. Sheldon, of East Highgate, has acquired a reputation for the 
manufacture of wool boots, or sheepskin leggins, in a superior manner. Those 
who are exposed to tbe damp and cold of northern winters, will find these

Smith & Pease of " the Blue Store," on Church street, Burlington, have 
long been known as leading clothiers. No better goods or in greater variety 
can be found in the State. Trunks, hats, robes, and furnishing goods are 
among their specialties. Be sure to call and make the acquaintance of this 
popular firm. Card on page 540. 

George W. Squier became interested as a partner in a dry goods busi- 
ness in Swanton in 1868, and under various changes continued as such until 
1875, when he bought the entire business. Finding that he had not suf- 
ficient capital to run the business on the old style of long credit, he launched 
into a new system, a strict cash business, a great undertaking at that time ; 
but through his energy and pluck he made it a success, and has continued to 
increase his business, until ac the present time he has one of the finest 
and most varied stocks of general merchandise to be found in this vicinity. 
The rooms of his store are light and airy, 50 feet front and 80 feet deep, 
divided in the center by a partition, and connected by swinging glass doors. 
He has also systemetized his business and divided it into departments. It 
was a great undertaking to change from an old established credit to a strict 
cash business in a small country town and a farming community, yet it was 
successfully done and with an increasing trade which is a great credit to Mr. 
S. and something that many of his friends and competitors thought could not 
be done successfully. He is always wide-awake to the change wants of his 
trade, and always has the best of help in his employ, and draws trade for many 
miles around. Any one visiting Swanton should not fail to visit Squier's, where 
they will receive the same hearty welcome whether they wish to buy or not. 
See card on page 504.

Strong & Parker, of Vergennes, Vt., manufacturers of the " Little 
Giant Road Machine," have accomplished great good in lessening the labor 
of road making. By the use of these machines, communities will greatly im- 
prove their roads, and do it in less time than by the ordinary methods of the 
past. See the machine at work on page 254. 

The Swanton Courier, T. M. Tobin, editor, is one of the liveliest coun- 
try papers we known of. Mr. Tobin's chief stronghold lies in the fact that 
his local news department is very complete for the towns in this and Grand 
Isle counties. It is like a home paper in this respect in each town. As a 
job printer he is prepared to fill most any order likely to be offered. He is 
known as T. M. Tobin, not F. M., as erroneously printed in card on page 
528. The low price of his paper should secure for him a very large patron- 
age, which we understand he already has. 

Switzer & Butler, of St. Albans, upholsterers and dealers in trimmings 
for the trade, print a card on page 388. This firm are jobbers in their 
line of goods, and solicit patronage from dealers as well as from retail 
customers. 

L. B. Truax, photographer and dealer in pictures, frames, ect., at Swan- 
ton, prints an illustrated card on page 5 1 o. Those who would see themselves 
as others see them, should visit Mr. Truax. 

F. F. Twitchell & Co., of the "corner store," St. Albans, advertise on 
page 314, a full line of dry goods, carpets, and ladies furnishings of all kinds.

PUBLISHER S NOTES.

This firm, successors to the late firm of Parmenter & Twitchell, are bound to 
lead in their line of business. Read their card, note their motto, and when 
you want something new, call and see them. 

The Vermont Sentry, a weekly newspaper issued at Swanton, by C. 
R. Jamason, is a neat eight-page paper, and finds a welcome in many homes. 
Its columns are filled with selected and original reading matter of an inter- 
esting nature, and as an advertising medium it has merits. Mr. Jamason 
looks well after the local department and market reports, while he is ready 
at all times to attend to job printing. See card on page 490. 

Vermont Methodist Seminary and Female College. — That the New 
England States contain some of the finest institutions of learning in the world 
is an acknowledged fact. Vermont maintains her position in the front rank 
among them in this respect as in most others, and prominent among her 
schools and colleges is the Methodist Seminary. This institution, situated at 
Montpelier, has a location that for beauty and healthfulness is second to 
none. Its buildings are large, beautiful, and supplied with every facility for 
comfort and convenience, while the faculty strive to do good in a broad field 
— to furnish our youth with a thorough, Christian education. Eight courses 
of study are taught, especial attention being paid to music, by a competent 
corps of teachers under Rev. j. D. Beeman, A. M., president, and Rev. E. A. 
Bishop, A. M., principal. For particular mention, terms, etc., we refer the 
reader to the Institution's card, on page 248. 

The Vermont State Normal School, at Castleton, Rutland county, is one 
of the most beautifully located in the State. The grounds and buildings are 
admirably adapted for school purposes. Situated on a slight elevation, at 
the head of Seminary street, they are at once retired, yet easy of access, 
airy and healthful. The drainage of the grounds is perfect, the ventilation 
of the buildings complete, having accommodations for one hundred boarders 
and two hundred day pupils. (See cut on page 550). The present main 
building was first opened for the reception of pupils in 1830, by the late 
Solomon Foote, since which time there have been many changes of able 
teachers, while many hundred cultured young men and women have gone out 
from its halls upon a useful life. It became a State normal school in 1867. 
In 1 88 1, it came under the permanent control of Capt. Abel E. Leavenworth, 
entering upon a new era of prosperity. Principal Leavenworth was born in 
Charlotte, Vt, graduated from the University of Vermont, was for eight years 
principal of Hinesburgh Academy, several years principal of Beeman Acad- 
emy at New Haven, and while principal of the State Normal School at 
Randolph, over two hundred graduates were commissioned to teach. His 
success at Castleton has been very satisfactory. During his first year students 
came from seven counties. He is ably seconded by an efficient corps of 
teachers, and the school cannot fail in the future to command its legitimate 
share of patronage.

The Vermont Record. — A new applicant for popular favor, an eight-page 
weekly paper, issued by the Enterprise Printing Co., at St. Albans, has 
already obtained a large circulation. Mr. T. H. Montefiore, the editor, 
has had considerable experience in journalistic enterprises. See card on 
page 356. 

Wm. P. Walker, of St. Albans is prepared to supply customers from any 
town in the county with stoves, tin and glass-ware, at fair prices, and also to 
buy hides, pelts, furs, etc., at market rates. Give him a call whenever busi- 
ness prompts. Card on page 464. 

Hiram B. Weeks, the popular flour, grain and feed dealer at St. Albans, has 
been in business here for twenty years. His acquaintance with western deal- 
ers and extensive experience gives him advantages which he proposes to share 
with his customers. For several years past he has occupied the old Sowles 
and Eastman store on Market street. His card is on page 452. 

Curtis Wheeler of Fairfax, proprietor of Maple Grove Stock Farm, ad- 
vertises his Ayrshire herd on page 360. Mr. Wheeler keeps registered stock for 
sale, and we advise those who desire to improve their dairies to consult 
him. 

E. W. Wheeler, photographer, etc., at Richford, has won a reputation for 
doing very nice work in his line, and at low prices. He also frames pic- 
tures of all kinds to order. Read his card on page 304. 

Charles Wyman entered upon an apprenticeship of six years with Foster 
Grow, of Chelsea, Vt, in April, 1841. Six months after his time expired he 
came to St. Albans, and began work for the late Alfred H. Huntington, and after 
two years service as journeyman he entered into partnership with Mr. Hunt- 
ington. After seven years of perfectly pleasant and fairly profitable partner- 
ship, Mr. John Wyman bought Mr. Huntington's interest and entered into 
partnership with his brother Charles, the firm name being C. & J. Wyman. In 
1862, Charles bought his brother's interest, and took into partnership Elihu 
H. Huntington, who had served an apprenticeship of four years with him. In 
1868, Wyman bought Huntington's interest and has since that time been

strong and in an opposite direction from the port for which he is "paddling." 
Mr. Wyman says there are but three men in St. Albans in active trade now, who 
were in trade when he came here in 1847, viz. : Victor Atwood, A. S. 
Hyde and James Saxe. See Mr. Wyman's card on page 298.

SU GAR MAKER'S F RIEND ! 

Post's Eureka, 

THE PERFECT 

^iBucketHanger. 



Ihe maple tree looks beautiful, 

('Tis useful, all admit.) 
How sweet the sugar or the sap 

That people get from it 
How much of sap's lost every year, 

How much of time as well, — 
By having wretched wooden pails, 

As all the farmer's tell. 

One C. C. Post, of Burlington, 

(A Science man is he,) 
Has a Sap Spout you may affix 

To any maple tree ; 
It has a Bucket Hanger, too, - 

The two combined in one ; 
That every farmer ought to see, 

And every farmer's son. 

This Galvanized Metallic friend 

" Eureka " has been styled ; 
" I've found it ! " sugar makers shout, 

And every farmer's child. 
For when 't is to a tree affixed 

With Post's Sap Bucket bright, 
The maker knows sap will be saved, 

And all things will work rignt. 

The Tin Sap Bucket, conical, 

Its indented side you'll see — 
So made that it will fit the shape 

Of any maple tree. 
And to its brim with sap 't will fill 

Ere any sap runs out ; 
It should be sold to sugar makers 

This Bucket with the Spout. 

To make the thing the more complete 

And bring good things about, 
A Cover he has now affixed 

To Bucket and the Spout. 
When to the tree they are applied, 

All storm and dirt without. 
From sap so very pure you'll see 

The nicest sugar out. 

I can't describe them as they are 

In any verses here, 
But much of maple sap they'll save 

In each succeeding year. 
Go see them, and appreciate, — 

Their maker does not boast : 
But he'll convince you very soon 

That he's a useful Post. 

Oh, Sugar Makers, save your sap, 

For maple sugar's high ; 
Eureka Spout and Hanger have, 

This Bucket and Cover try. 
Those useful things describe them- 

Can sugar makers please, [selves, 
Each sugar manufacturer 

Should have them for his trees. 



20,000 Maple Sugar Makers 

fjl have discarded every other kind and have 
sj' purchased. 

Post's Patent Metallic Eureka Sap Spouts and 
Bucket Hangers. 

They are destined to be the imiversal article of the 
kind used for the com- 
ing century. 

Their construction 
is wholly Mechanical, 
Scientific and Practi- 
cal, combining Con- 
venience, Simplicity, 
Durability, and Econ- 
omy. They are guar- 
anteed to work per- 
fectly and to give per- 
fect satisfaction, or 
money refunded. 

Many millions have 
been sold and not one 
returned. At least 
one-fourth more sugar 
and a better quality is 
made yearly by their 
use. They will last 
for generations, and 
all points considered, 
are the CHEAPEST 
SAP SPOUTS the 




Eureka Sap Spout with Post's Patent 

Indented Gonioal Sap Bucket and 

Cover attached. 



AND MOST PROFITABLE 
Sugar Maker can use. 

N. B. — The public are cautioned against the purchase, 
sale or use of any Sap Spout having fins or flanges and 
chambers between the same for the free flow of sap, or 
a bucket hanger detachable, or one permanently attached 
to a spout. 

{g^Buy the EUREKAS and you escape all 
Infringements.

Fixtures in General.

376 FRANKLIN COUNTY DIRECTORY. 

Attorney at Law and Counselor in Patent Causes. 

^SOLICITOR OF AMERICAN AND FOREIGN PATENTS,5*- 
NORTH BENNINGTON, VT. 

— >mk >— — « m$~- 

§jj|||FTER an experience in patent matters extending over a period 
i eSfM of twenty years, offers his services to inventors in Franklin 
X and Grand Isle Counties and vicinity, and confidently believes 
* that his facilities for the transaction of patent business in the 
United States Courts, and in American and Foreign Patent Offices, 
are unsurpassed by any Patent Agency in New England. 

Acting as the Associate Attorney in the United States for the 
Patent Agency of Robertson, Brooman & Co., London, the oldest 
establishment of the kind in England, I am able to execute on this 
side of the water all papers necessary to obtain British patents, so 
that inventors seeking English patents may know, before their British 
applications are lodged, in what shape their inventions have been 
presented. The general custom is to turn the whole case over to the 
English Agents, who handle the matter as they please, without con- 
sultation with the inventor,— a practice often prejudicial to the in- 
ventor's interest. 

Having a complete set of English and United States Patent Re- 
ports covering a period from 16 17 to date, as well as a good selection 
of legal and scientific patent authorities, I am able to furnish informa- 
tion of the highest value to the inventor and the litigant. No charge 
made for preliminary consultation. 

The customary charge of $5.00 is made for preliminary searches 
on inventions. 

Fee for obtaining United States patents ranges from $25.00 up- 
wards, according to the complexity of the case. 

Where applications are made after a preliminary search, the fee for 
search will be applied on the regular attorney's fee. 

Re-issues, extensions, copyrights, rejected cases and caveats, prose- 
cuted on reasonable terms. 

Cost of English patents from $175.00 upwards. This covers 
English Government fees and all other expenses.

Wife ! since Dr. Sheerar fitted you with artificial teeth you look as plump and pretty 
as a girl of twenty ; it makes me think of the old times, and I believe I'll have to court 
you over again. 

Well, Richard, I do feel many years younger ; my breath is sweet and my appetite is 
improved, and now it is a wonder to me that so many people neglect their teeth, allow 
them to decay, and then go about annoying people with their impure breath and ill-shaped 
face, all of which they could easily remedy by the aid of Dr. Sheerar's services.

I 



Reasons why we can sell goods lower than any other concern in the County : 

Knowing by past experience that the only true way to do business, where 
both parties (the buyer and seller) are satisfied, is the cash system, we have 
adopted it. It is impossible to sell goods cheap when you have to wait for 
your money, for you are not sure of receiving it all, and have to put an extra 
charge on those who do pay, to make up for bad debts; but when we receive 
cash for goods we can buy for cash and sell at the lowest living prices. 

Please bear this in mind: By keeping no books and having no bad accounts 
for my cash customers to pay for, neither for the expense of book-keeping, 
I shall be enabled to sell you goods at a small margin above cost, as my motto 
is " Quick sales and small profits and the best goods at the lo7vest prices /" 

Bring along the "Root of all evil" and see how cheap you can buy for 
cash. Yours, Respectfully, GEO. W. SQU1ER.

CLASSIFIED BUSINESS DIRECTORY 



FEANKLIN AND GRAND ISLE COUNTIES. 



EXPLANATION. 

The Towns are alphabetically arranged at the end of the line, under the business classi- 
fications. The postoffice address of each individual or firm follows after the name. 
Where no postoffice is given after the name, it signifies that the name of the postoffice and 
the township is the same. In the villages the name of the street is generally given and 
precedes that of the postoffice. The names of farmers are omitted in this list, as they can 
readily be found in the general list, by noting the figures at the end of the line, which in- 
indicate the number of acres owned or leased by each. Road numbers signify the same as 
in the general list.

BLOOD T77ILL TIELL I 



AT BEEBE'S RIVERSIDE STOCK FARM 

MAY BE FOUND THE FOLLOWING WELL-BRED TROTTING. 
ROAD AND FARMING ANIMALS: 

BEEBE MORGAN, or Captain and his Brother, 
«.OI,I» DROP, also VERMONT KNOX, and = 

two Brothers, MOSES and DANIEL. WEBSTER, 

the two latter of which are promising Young Colts. 
Captain and Gold Drop were bred from the old 
Morgan and Blackhawk families, and are good representatives of Justin and Gifford. 

Vermont Knox and Brothers were sired by Captain, their dam, Queen of the Hub, a large, pow- 
erful Hambletonian Mare, raised in Boston, when three years old was so promising and fast that her owner was 
offered $750,00 for a half interest in her. She was sired by old General Knox, whose service was then valued 
at $100.00, and is now in New York with service valued at $150.00 

For Terms, Descriptions and Extended Pedegree of my Horses, address for Catalogue, 

-A.- T- IBEEBE, S-waaa-toaa., "v"t. 






MA" HERD OF JERSEY CATTLE were established fourteen years ago 
; by purchase at Auction Sale of the Keyes property in Highgate ; they were from the Im- 
ported Stock of the late U. S. Judge, David A. Smalley, of Burlington, Vt. From this 
Stock and from the progeny of Hon. H A. Burt's celebrated cow, I have been able to get 
some first-class grades for dairy purposes. In the future I shall make a specialty of 
raising pure bloods for the trade. 



MA FLOCK OF MERINO SHEEP will be of the 
Atwood family, bred Dure for the last forty years by the Hammonds, 
of Middlebury, and by S. G. Holyoke, of St. Albans,— the latter 
of whom stands first in Franklin County, and I believe first in 
America, as a judge and breeder of Spanish Merinos. 




BEEBE'S MORGAN PIG is a cross between the Chester White and Medium 

Yorkshire, is a pure white, of good size, easily kept, and, for beauty and symmetry of 

ki form, cannot be excelled in this County. It may be of interest to know that I have secured 

Br uve pig S of H. Livingston from his noted Sow "Caroline," and the same Yorkshire Boar 

my original Stock is from. The Boar was imported by. Mr. Brooks, of Boston, and is now owned byJ^W. 
Dorman. 

MY TURKEYS, of the Bronze or Mammoth Variety, were 
raised by Hon. G. S. Fassett, of Enosburgh. My Gobbler's father weighed Fortv 
Pounds. 



OF HENS, I shall keep for layers the Brown 
< g^&'*~ Leghorns, and for the table and setters the Liiillt 
££' Brahmas. 



I am Agent for the LINCOLN PAT ENT CHANNE L-C A N A N D 

O K E A M E R Y, the very best yet invented for raising cream and making first-class 
butter. I have used and seen all other kinds. This channel has a cooling capacity ol over 2}o 
inches above all other Cans : it saves much ice and labor. When running water can be had at a 
temperture of 45° to 55°, it will do the work. For fall, winter and early spring setting — say 
nothing of dog days — it will pay for itself in one season in a large dairy. The temperature is 
even and steady, and no smoke, no stench from cooking, no freezing and thawing of milk or 
cream, no wood, but a uniform number one article produced every time, 
for a Circular and get posted. 





t^~Send 



SASH DOORS AND BLINDS. — I expect during another year to have my Factory in full opera- 
tion in the' manufacture of superior Sash, Doors, Blinds, &c, and hope to merit a liberal patronage. The 
shop will be run by water— not rum.
